Courtney Good of Jefferson Twp set two
club records. “Courtney hasn’t been swimming a lot, relatively
speaking, but came to the meet with a good attitude.” expressed
coach Al Ledgin of Basking Ridge, “Our swimmers set their practice
schedules based on their goals and she’s been busy with other
activities. But she’s kept up some swimming and a good attitude,
knowing that it’s not easy to push yourself with limited practice
time and was able to set a couple of 15&O club records. By giving
the swimmers ownership in setting their practice schedule, it teaches
them a good life-lesson on prioritizing their goals.” Good’s
records came in the W15&O 200 Backstroke with a 3:05.81 and 100
Breaststroke in a time of 1:35.04. Sister Taylor set 3 personal Best
