[Anonymous]

No question...Class 6 state champs faster than Metros.

Was there ever a question? Class 6 States is incredibly competitive and fast.

They are comparable meets and either could be faster in any given year.

Wake up! You are wrong. The real talent lives across the bridge. MoCo is to soft and concerned about the intangibles that mean nothing while chasing the black line. Post some more things to make us yawn. The truth is never in the reel.

MoCo has huge disadvantage in that there are so few pools. Swimming losing a lot of potential participants because teams simply don’t have enough lanes/spots. MoCo’s fault, of course, but don’t blame it on the kids being soft.

MoCo has an elitest attitude living off Ledecky, Gemmel, Bacon years and still thinking they are best area for swim. Stone Ridge is a thing of the past. NoVa has been premier area for swim for several years. Not close.

WTF did I just read???

I’ve come to realize the craziest swim parents hail from VA. Prove me wrong!

Oh, are we sensitive in The Communist Republic? The times don’t lie. The recruitments don’t lie. WTF?

MoCo parents & swimmers: don't take the troll's bait

we know that Metros is 1 county + some private schools while VA class 6 is the biggest schools from multiple counties, or something like that - anyway MoCo start ignoring this post right now

Dispelling the myth from other threads about the “vibe is just different at metros”. Metros is MoCo and all WCAC schools, which recruit kids from all over the DMV so also covers a wide range of counties, or something like that. Primary concentration of Class 6 VHSL are in NoVa, which just have better swimmers than MoCo + WCAC.

You just can’t compare the meets if it’s a VA vs Maryland thing. Maybe they want to compare swimmers from Fairfax county to Montgomery County? PP sounds unhinged with the “elitist attitude” comment. Swimming ebbs and flows and right now MD seeing a bit of a change, likely due to COVID closures. MD lost many talented swimmers who would be in high school right now.

Keep in mind Metros includes the swimmers from one public school district. Of the top 7 scoring teams, you have an occasional out of state private school swimmer (GP- out of the top 7 scoring men, 1 was from VA. Dematha had none of their swimmers from out of state. On the women’s side, GC had zero, SR had 2 from DC, and HA had zero swimmers from out of state. That said, the swimmers from all of these schools aren’t fast because of the school they attend, it comes down to where they train.

My guess is that OP is that insecure NCAP west club parent who is always trolling the NCAP Prep site.

Comparing winners from each men’s event, it looks like Metros had the fastest swim for the majority of events:

200 free- Metros
200im- metros
50 free- vhsl (.01 faster than Metros winner’s best time)
100 fly- metros
100 free- vhsl
500 free- metros
100 back- metros
100 breast- vhsl

To note- all of the event winners are from Montgomery County.

The anti~elites DP is yet another eye twitching NCAP GP derangement syndrome suffering nut. Sorry but this site has depth and college outcomes, meaning continued success, that far surpass any NCAP site or competing team in the area. Period.

Obvious troll is obvious. Just don’t engage.
