4.0 years ago @ 2:06PM

Hello Friar Family,

This year we have a TON of Friars swimming across the Great South Bay honoring the memory of Friar Maggie Fischer (20th anniversary of the swim named for her) on this coming Friday, July 19th.

You can track the Friars using the App called "RaceJoy".

First and foremost,

The Champion for the past 3 years and reigning record holder

CJ Arena! CJ rocked the bay last year with a record time of 1:38:59.64! Holy Fast! His bib number (cap number or tracking number) this year is "2"

Good Luck for number 4 CJ!

Noah has had a 2nd place finish in the past, and after shoulder surgery he's back and ready to go!

Joe Welling - bib # 133

Yes... that's Coach Liz's son, Friar Joe Welling who's swimming his first ever crossing! (time to beat... 2:09.41) Why is that Joe's time to beat? Because that's his MOM'S time from 2000 that was the all time female record for like over a decade! Get bragging rights Joe! :)
