2003 2nd Annual Banquet Results

October 26th, 2003

held at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant on Key Biscayne

The Awards are for the competition year from August 15, 2002 to August 31, 2003 and covers all swimming competitions held during that year. Some swimmers aged up (moved up) to a new and higher age group category. To take this into account for award purposes, all swimmers were considered to be in the age group they were in the longest (during the award year) based on their birthday date! Here are the results from our second Annual Awards Banquet:
