Swimmers on the Highbridge Aquatics swim team demonstrated that less is more at the recent Wildcat Meet in Lexington, with many swimmers dropping seconds off their best previously-posted times. While success stories were numerous, three topped the list as Swimmers of the Meet for Highbridge coach Chris Fugmann for posting new times in every event they entered.

Chrissy Haug posted a time of 1:10.38 in the 100-meter Butterfly event, trimming more than four seconds off an already exceptional personal best time of 1:14.85. According to Fugmann, this result comes directly from training smart, often and well. "A good swim should also make you look forward to what will be possible down the road, and, without a doubt, this can be an exciting event for a 16-year-old who is just beginning her third winter of swimming," Fugmann said.

Emma Ferrier posted a time of 1:43.19 from a previous best time of 2:13.56 in the 8 and Under 100-meter Individual Medley relay. In total, Ferrier dropped 66.17 seconds from her events. This is Ferrier's second season swimming with the Highbridge team.

In only her second event with the team, Devon Cobb improved all of her times.

Others rounding out Fugmann's top swimmers for the Wildcat Meet included Kala Boudreaux, Larissa Martim, Sarah Groppo, Ann Louise Cooper, Lauren Fowler, Chris Lyons, Brooke Barber and Zachary Haynes.

The Highbridge Aquatics team will compete again in Bloomington, Ind., Dec. 19-21.
