Out of the blue waters of
the Hartnell Pool, Dr. Matt Jones of the senior group swam a
Pacific Masters Swimming record in the 50 fly going a
23.83.. Folks, this makes him number 1 in the USA for his age
group. On 2/6/10, he swam to a first place finish in the 50
free (22.25) and is currently #3 in the nation in that event.
He swam 53.65 in the 100 fly (53.65),which is the second fastest
timein the Nation. Earlier in the day at the SF.Ca. meet he
swam the 100free in 49.34, making him the fastest 100 free
swimmer in the County. Not bad for a days work.
If you have observed a Senior Group practice in the last month, you
know that this guy was going to swim fast. Matt Jones
can be quoted as saying "remember those 20 somethings and 30
somethings that beat me at the Fog City meet? Not this
time."
Matt is 40 something and
proves that commitment and hard work pays. It is not being at
practice that matters, it is what you do in that time. I am
so proud of this man and what he has accomplished.
Sincerely,
Coach Dia
