The rankings for the 2009-2010 SCY season
are final and our swimmer, Matt Jones (44)of SVAM secured 2
top ten rankings in the Nation for his age group (40-44). He
placed 7th in the USA in the 50 SCY butterfly and ranked 9th
in the 100 fly (52.73). He also ranked 15th in the
50 free going a 22.15 He swam
to 17th over all in the Nation in the 100 free
(48.97). Matt Jones is a true champion masters swimmer
placing 1st at the Pacific Masters Championships in 2010 in most of
his events. These top times were swum with a broken rib and a
collapsed lung. I kid you not.
Matt swam for UCLA in the 1980's.
UCLA was a NCAA Championship team before the school
cancelled their program. He is an All American ranked swimmer
in college and in US Masters swimming.
In 2010, Matt provided such a wonderful
example to the swimmers of the MCAT USA Swimming Team and SVAM US
Masters team . We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to have
him back in the pool soon.
Congratulations-we are very proud of your
accomplishments.
