Overlee vs. Chesterbrook Review (belated)

by wett'n on Jul.21, 2009, under Highlights

Our apologies for the delay on the Division 1 Championship Meet wrap up; however, duty calls (literally) for some members of the NVSL News Team.

The meet was not quite as close as anticipated with Overlee taking the win 219.5 to 182.5. However, both teams had some great swims. The MVPs of the meet were easily Overlee’s 11-12 girls who had two sweeps, two 1st and 2nds, all in addition to their relay win. Chesterbrook never fully recovered after Overlee’s 11-12 girls light up the pool. This all made it only fitting that it was Overlee’s 11-12 girls who broke the 201 point bearier and secured the victory for Overlee.

Here is the point breakdown from the meet, including the relays for each age group (Overlee took both mixed ages):

8 and Under Boys: Chesterbrook-22 Overlee-10

8 and Under Girls: Chesterbrook-23 Overlee-9

9-10 Boys: Chesterbrook-18 Overlee-23

9-10 Girls: Chesterbrook-16 Overlee-25

11-12 Boys: Chesterbrook-9 Overlee-32

11-12 Girls: Chesterbrook-2 Overlee-39

13-14 Boys: Chesterbrook-30 Overlee-11

13-14 Girls: Chesterbrook-23 Overlee-18

15-18 Boys: Chesterbrook-32 Overlee-8

15-18 Girls: Chesterbrook-7 Overlee-34

The VAC vs. Hamlet meet for 3rd place in Division 1 was the closest meet of the weekend. The meet came down to the final relay, the mixed age girls. The VAC girls took the relay by 4 seconds and thus took the meet by 6 points with a score of 204 to 198.

Videos of races from last weekend’s battle between Overlee and Chesterbrook are now posted. Visit the “Overlee vs. Chesterbrook” page under “Videos” to view freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke races from the meet.

Chesterbrook vs. Overlee: Who is the Deadliest Warrior?

by wett'n on Jul.17, 2009, under Teams

The Chesterbrook-Overlee ”duel” meet on Saturday is going to be a clash of the Titans. Saturday will be the best dual meet of the season as the top two teams in the league face off. To break down the meet, NVSL News has used Spike TV’s Deadliest Warrior format.

Chesterbrook: Ninja, a disciplined warrior that uses both agility and strength. When facing their most common enemy, the Samurai, a Ninja must rely on intellect and strength. A Ninja always has countless tricks up their sleeve (putting 13 year old Alston Offutt in the Senior Breast) and knows how to create illusions and diversions that distract the enemy (Chesterbrook Seniors always have an awesome cheering section as well as pre-meet skit). A Ninja also knows what it means to be the underdog in a fight (Joe Viola has coached countless Gonzaga teams to WMPSSDL Championship victories despite being predicted to lose by 30 points or more). As seasoned warriors, Ninjas rely on their plethora of weapons (age group swimmers). Look for Chesterbrook to be both nimble and stealthy.

Overlee: Spartan, another disciplined warrior with a long culture and history of dominance (Overlee has competed in Division 1 since the beginning of the NVSL). Spartans wear their integrity on their shields and rely on their comrades when going into battle (Overlee will need to rely on all their swimmers tomorrow in order to take the triple crown). Spartan weapons are simple, yet effective (see the Overlee “WALL” that 8 & Unders must start from). Spartans are also known for their resilience when in battle (0-5 season in 2003; followed 3 years later by a 5-0 season in 2006). Look for Overlee to rely on its culture of winning and simple strengths tomorrow against Chesterbrook.
