Team Results 2007 Empire State Games in Westchester County
THis year's Empire State Games Masters swimming competition was held July 27-29 in Westchester County at Pace University in a 25 yd format. Because of the distance to the Games and the fact that the swim was not LCM or SCM format, only two RAMS swimmers competed.
Barry Symonds is a relatively new member of the team, joining us in December 2006. Although he was an open water swim virgin at the Canandaigua Lake swim earlier this month, Barry is a seasoned pool competitor. Barry's specialties are breaststroke and IM and he earned 5 gold and 1 silver medals this weekend in the 50-54M group. Barry adds that after Lorie's instruction in the breaststroke and fly, he took 4 seconds off his best 100 Breaststroke time; 9 seconds off his 200 IM time and 15 seconds of his 400 IM time. Coaching does help!
