The 2nd night of Finals was THRILLING (to say the least) for the #FantasySwimming teams!! Many rosters had multiple A Finalists, which evened up the overall point standings when all was said and done. Here’s how the points stand after last night:
TheChlorinators – 51pts
WeMissYouRicky – 49pts
RyanLochtesCamoShorts – 41pts
Mrs.NathanAdrian – 40pts
JustKeepSwimming – 37pts
TylerClarysPitCrew – 37pts
BobsHat – 35pts
Sharknado – 32pts
GatorGrabber – 32pts
SunsOutGunsOut (SOGO) – 30pts
BigTruck – 27pts
SmileyRyanLochte – 27pts
SwimFit – 27pts
NathanAdriansChest – 25pts
Biggest Improvement – With just 8 points on Day 1, The Chlorinators came out of nowhere and ripped a 43 pt gain during Day 2 Finals. A-Finalists Vreeland, Henry, McLean, Larson, and Cordes were HUGE point winners and vaulted The Chlorinators into first place overall. On the other end of the spectrum, poor SwimFit earned a grand total of zero points for Day 2 Finals. Strong names like Dax Hill and Kip Darmody swam swiftly, but just didn’t get an A-Final spot for points.
Biggest Heartbreak – Like everyone else watching, our hearts dropped when Beisel slipped right off the start in the W2Back. AMAZED at how she powered and persevered to 6th PLACE!!!! This set Team BigTruck back from the 8pts she was counting on!
Best TrashTalk – Team TylerClarysPitCrew definitely made it known that she was THRILLED to have Mr. Clary on her roster for 2Back. She had him slotted for the W and he obviously didn’t disappoint. Of course Tyler’s after-swim cellie (bration) just rubbed in the 8-pts for the rest of us!
Fan Notes – Many of us attended the Charlotte Grand Prix and are HUGE SwimMACElite Fans, so FAST racing from Micah Lawrence, Kathleen Baker, and others were highlights of the night!! Also, we did have a Twitter comment from Elvis Burrows – “Honestly can’t believe that @SwimmingFantasy is a real thing right now.” Believe it, ELVIS. We asked him to join in the fun….no response.
