Even though the Arbor Heights Otters won the Seattle Summer Swim League dual meet, 379-355, over Gregory Seahurst's Gators, the words from the Otters coach Chris Veraya made one think there were two winners after swimmers competed at the Gregory Seahurst pool Thursday.
And, for the Gators, that would be good praise, indeed, after having been one of the weaker SSSL teams for a long time now.
"Give a lot of the credit to that guy right there, Mike Fosberg, the Gregory Seahurst coach," said Arbor Heights coach Veraya. "They are making amazing gains. I'm a little scared for next year."
The dual meet was closer than the final score, too, and it's the first time in a long time that the score's been that close, in fact anywhere near to that close.
"Really close meet all the way through," said Gregory Seahurst coach Fosberg, who mentioned that the Gators have been losing to the Otters, and all the other SSSL swim teams, in dual meets by a 100 points or more for the last 10 years plus.
