The Coosaw Creek Crocodiles ended the 22-year reign of the Snee Farm Swim Team on July 19, capturing the championship of the Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association. The Crocodiles set three new relay records in fifteen events on their way to a final total of 3009.5 points, 205 more than runner-up Snee Farm. The Daniel Island Flying Fish finished in third place with 2516.5 points, followed by the Parkshore Piranhas (2267.5) and the Shadowmoss Sharks (2172 points.)
Coosaw Creek won six of the fifteen events on Relay Night, including the final three relays. Daniel Island captured four relay titles, while the other five relays were won by Shadowmoss, James Island, Parkshore, Pine Forest, and Northbridge Terrace. The Crocodiles' 15-18 mixed medley relay was the first CCAA record of the night at 1:58.93, featuring a team of two brother/sister pairs: Elijah and Micah Bohon and Brandon and Alecia Rattigan. Micah Bohon and Alecia Rattigan were joined by Brooke Spencer and Marina Filo on Coosaw Creek's record-breaking 15-18 girls free relay team (1:55.66). The Crocodiles' other record of the night was established by their 9-10 boys free relay team of Ellis Goodwin, Dylan Routhier, Connor Westbrooke, and Daniel Lloyd. Daniel Island supplied the evening's other new record, coming from their 7-8 boys free relay team of Joseph Buceti, Nick Defazio, Liam Ryan, and Owen Conley.
Before the meet started, the CCAA recognized 59 senior swimmers, who will head to 27 different colleges in the next few months. Rising high school senior David Leggett from Snee Farm was awarded the Carolyn Y. Keller Memorial Scholarship. Three named awards were presented to winners of certain events: Katie Sapozhnikov of the James Island Stingrays earned the Louise Stuhr Award by winning the 7-8 girls backstroke. Two 11-12's from Coosaw Creek also won named awards: Sarah Anne Welsh was awarded the Brittany Dejeet Award for her victory in the 50 freestyle, while her teammate Jackson Seith will take home the Chene Moore Award by virtue of his championship of the 50 breaststroke. The CCAA's Team Sportsmanship Awards were presented to Snee Farm (Red League), James Island (White League), and Crowfield (Blue League.)
Congratulations to all of the CCAA's 2500+ swimmers and coaches on a great 2011 season, and thanks to all of the parents, especially those who volunteered throughout the year. We'll see you at the pool in 2012!

Complete meet results
The Coosaw Creek Crocodiles continue to lead the 2011 Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association (CCAA) Championship Meet at the end of the individual events. The meet will wrap up on Tuesday night with mixed medley and freestyle relay competition. The Crocodiles have scored 2173.5 points through two nights of the meet and lead 22-time defending champion Snee Farm by 93 points. Snee Farm has not had to come from behind on Relay Night to win the City Meet since the first year of their winning streak (1989.) The Daniel Island Flying Fish sit in third place with 1848.5 points, followed by the Parkshore Piranhas (1677.5) and the Shadowmoss Sharks (1562 points.)
After the CCAA's younger swimmers set six new City Meet records on Sunday, the older swimmers found meet records harder to come by on Day 2, breaking only two league marks. The first new record of the night was set by Micah Bohon of Coosaw Creek in the 15-18 girls butterfly (29.71). Later in the evening, Dunes West's Cason Brown established a new CCAA record in the 15-18 boys 50 backstroke (28.04).
Monday's twenty-five events were won by nineteen different swimmers, an unprecedented occurrence. Only one swimmer, Coosaw Creek's Micah Bohon, captured three event titles (15-18 girls butterfly, breaststroke, and individual medley.) Two 13-14 girls from Northbridge Terrace were dual event winners: Ashleigh Bennett won the freestyle and backstroke events, while teammate Sara Stansell finished first in butterfly and IM. Daniel Island's Alex Cavazzoni captured the 13-14 boys breaststroke and individual medley events, and Jackson Seith (Coosaw Creek) won the breaststroke and IM events in the 11-12 boys.
Close to 1000 swimmers from across the Charleston area will converge on the Jewish Community Center on Relay Night. Warmups will begin at 4:00 PM, followed by presentation of regular season awards and recognition of the CCAA's seniors at 5:30. The meet should begin at approximately 5:45, followed by presentation of City Meet awards at around 9:00.
A team score report is available here, and meet results through Day 2 are available here.

Six new CCAA records were established on the first night of competition, including five in the first ten events. The six new records were established by six different swimmers, including three from the Shadowmoss Sharks. Emorie Thrasher from Shadowmoss opened the meet by becoming the first 7-8 swimmer in CCAA history, boy or girl, to break the 16-second barrier for the 25 freestyle with a time of 15.98. Emorie's teammate Jonathan Stone then set a new CCAA mark in the 9-10 boys 50 freestyle with a time of 31.93. Both Emorie's and Jonathan's swims bettered CCAA records set in 1988.
Three records were set in butterfly competition - in three consecutive events! Mary Alice Dupree of Fort Johnson set a record in the 9-10 girls 50 butterfly (33.10), winning the event by 5.70 seconds (her second record of her career.) In the next event, Justin Lawrence of Shadowmoss also earned his second career CCAA record, winning the 9-10 boys butterfly by over 4 seconds with a time of 34.24. Finally, Peyton Wilson of Parkshore set a new record in the 11-12 girls 50 butterfly (31.31). The last record of the night was established by Coosaw Creek's Meredith Welsh in the 11-12 girls 50 breaststroke, with a time of 36.69.
There were eight multiple event winners on Day 1. Three of these swimmers were "triple crown" winners, capturing titles in three events. In addition to winning the 9-10 girls butterfly, Mary Alice Dupree also won the backstroke and individual medley events. Justin Lawrence added championships in breaststroke and IM after setting his butterfly record, and Peyton Wilson also earned the crowns in the 11-12 girls backstroke and IM events.
Emorie Thrasher won the 7-8 girls breaststroke title to go with her freestyle record, while James Island's Katie Sapozhnikov won the other two events in the 7-8 girls (butterfly and backstroke.) Parkshore's Andrew Mitchum was the champion of the 7-8 boys butterfly and backstroke events. In the 9-10 girls, Callie Stauffer of Coosaw Creek came out on top in the freestyle and breaststroke swims.

The Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association's annual Championship Meet, also known as the City Meet, is right around the corner. Over 1000 CCAA swimmers will be competing over the course of three days of fast and furious swimming. The meet will kick off on Sunday, July 17, with individual competition for the 7-8 girls and boys, 9-10 girls and boys, and 11-12 girls. Warmups will begin at 1:40 (schedule can be downloaded here) and competition will begin at 3:30. The meet will be held at the Jewish Community Center at 1645 Wallenberg Boulevard in the West Ashley area (map). There is no charge for admission, but there is a $5 parking fee. Parents are reminded that heat sheets will cost $10 and T-shirts will cost $15 (2 for $25). The CCAA only accepts cash and checks; we cannot process credit or debit cards.
The meet will continue on Monday with individual events for the 11-12 boys, 13-14 girls and boys, and 15-18 girls and boys, and will wrap up with relays for all ages on Tuesday, July 19. Warmups on both days will begin at 4:00, and the meet will begin at 5:30.
The Snee Farm Swim Team is pursuing their twenty-third consecutive City Meet championship, and the Coosaw Creek Crocodiles appear to pose a serious threat to the streak. Coosaw Creek defeated Snee Farm during the regular season for the third time in four years, and the Crocodiles are hoping to come even closer than the 105 points behind Snee Farm that they finished in 2010.
Congratulations to all of the CCAA's swimmers on a terrific regular season, and get ready for the City Meet!
The CCAA is composed of 23 teams from the tri-county area surrounding Charleston, South Carolina.Over 2600 swimmers from 4 to 18 years old represent their neighborhoods, clubs, and other organizations in friendly (but exciting!) competition. CCAA teams began practicing in April and May and compete against each other in dual meets in June and July.
We have created a page on this site especially for CCAA officials. The list of certified officials is posted here, and the 2011 officials tests can also be downloaded from the officials page.
