Good evening, Gators, and welcome to week 2 of the 2026 season!

Meet results for Wednesday’s meet vs the Exeter Eagles, and Saturday’s meet vs the Loudoun Valley Estates Torpedoes are now available online at https://greenwaygators.swimtopia.com/documents-and-links.

Congratulations, Mini Gators, on your very first Mini Meet last week - way to stick with it until the rain got in the way! We hope you all had a great time!

You’ll notice a new Achievement (Achv column on the results) indicator this week - ODSL has released the 2026 All Stars cut times. There is a new page on the Gators website where you can view ODSL Top Times and filter to see All Star qualifier information, and more. It is located under the Documents and Links menu and can be found using the following URL: https://greenwaygators.swimtopia.com/odsl-rankings. Top Times are current through the date listed at the top right of the page (currently June 19) and will be updated throughout the season.
