ALAN LIU MEMORIAL SCM MEET
The results of the Alan Liu Memorial SCM meet have been posted.

Thanks for all the support for this year's MVM Alan Liu Meet. We had
something like 93 swimmers in attendance, and 322 total races swum.
Jill Mason and her brother Dan dropped in for the first half of the
meet, and she got to reacquaint herself with John Morales, who fitted
her with her first back brace shortly after her injury. She doesn't
remember much from those dark days, but John remembers her, and it
was great fun to see them meet again. Rita Wells and Barry Liu,
Alan's parents also came by, and it was great to see them.

As for the records, well, there were a bunch. I'll be bringing some
paperwork up to Wednesday's meeting. Margery Meyer was the big star,
with Laura Val not too far behind.
