Swim of the Week is brought to you by arena, a SwimSwam partner.
Disclaimer: Swim of the Week is not meant to be a conclusive selection of the best overall swim of the week, but rather one Featured Swim to be explored in deeper detail. The Swim of the Week is an opportunity to take a closer look at the context of one of the many fast swims this week, perhaps a swim that slipped through the cracks as others grabbed the headlines, or a race we didn’t get to examine as closely in the flood of weekly meets.
Fountain Valley High School sophomore Alyssa Ton had a phenomenal performance in the 200 freestyle at the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 Championships last weekend in Mission Viejo, winning the title and cracking the top 20 all-time in the girls’ 15-16 age group.
Racing on her 16th birthday, Ton put up a time of 1:44.12 to knock 38 one-hundredths off her newly minted best time of 1:44.50, which she set one week earlier at the CIF Sunset Conference Championships.
Prior to that swim, Ton’s best time stood at 1:45.37, set this past December at the Winter Junior Championships – West.
At the CIF-SS meet, Ton was more conservative on the opening 50 compared to where she was the previous week, flipping 42 one-hundredths slower at the 50, but was quicker on each split the rest of the way, including gaining more than a half-second on the back half (53.40 to 53.94).
