Points were awarded based on the results of the USMS 2001 SCM National Top Ten Times. The top ten individual swims in each age group event were scored in the following sequence: 11, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Double points were awarded for relays. To view the USMS top ten times see the following link: http://www.usms.org/swimgold/tt/age/

Arizona trailed New England by only 195 points based on the individual’s swim points, but gave up 1070 points in relays. NEM scored almost double the number of relay points as the second best relay scoring club, SDSM. New England Masters conducts it’s championship meets as a contest between NEM workouts groups. This spirited competition generates fantastic relay participation, and led NEM to the 2001 “Mythical” SCM National Championship.

The following table lists the top ten individual point scorers for NEM:

A final analysis ranked the top twenty fastest swims in each of the 100 meter events, regardless of age group. The results showed a surprisingly good representation of swimmers from the 19-24 age group to the 40-44 age group. The following lists break down the percentage of fastest swimmers from each age group for women and men:

WOMEN

15 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 19-24 age group

21 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 25-29 age group

27 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 30-34 age group

28 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 35-39 age group

7 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 40-44 age group

0 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 45-49 age group

2 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 50-54 age group

MEN

9 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 19-24 age group

23 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 25-29 age group

26 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 30-34 age group

23 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 35-39 age group

18 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 40-44 age group

1 percent of top twenty fastest swimmers: 45-49 age group

An “All-In” final at a major meet would produce some great racing between USMS’s fastest swimmers.
