2008 Final Results
Oh my - what a year it has been! The U.S. Masters Swimming Fitness Event "Go the Distance" (GTD) is now in the books with a record 631 participants (344 women and 287 men)!
The total distance swum by all participants is a whopping 171,837.78 miles! Our group average was an amazing 272.33 miles.
The most miles swum in 2008 were by Carrie Kostopulos-Doebler (35-39) with 2000.32 miles and Ray Cottom (60-64) who swam 1564.05 miles.
Our youngest participants are 20 years old (Landon, Thomas and Sean) and our most mature swimmers are Brud and Gertrud who are both 91! The age group with the most participants was the 45-49 (113) year olds but the folks in the 50-54 years old age group swam the most miles!
The Colonies zone had nearly twice as many swimmers as any other zone. And not too surprisingly, they swam the most miles!
