I had to vote for my neighborhood kids, Chloe Sutton and Kate Zeigler. But I think Whitney Myers (200IM) and Brendan Hansen (***) had the best performances of the year.
Has anyone here who reads these forums ever gone to the Golden Goggles banquet? I believe they can go for a $500 price tag or something like that. They get all sorts of famous people both in and out of swimming that go to this. I wonder if they have ever sold this out? This is like the Emmys or Academy Awards for USA swimming.
About the closest thing that Masters has to this is Swimming World/Swim Magazine Masters Swimmers of the Year in which they pick 10 swimmers from around the World with the best swimming performances judged by a panel of masters swimming experts from around the world. As far as USMS goes, I don't think we do this with our magazine or with the organization. However, every year we have been awarded a USMS masters swimmer in the International Swimming Hall of Fame as inductees as Masters swimmers. This year at the convention, there was a special applause for people that have been inducted in the past in the House of Delegates session.
We have a dinner banquet every year that honors the swimmers being inducted at the ISHOF or for this year it was at Stanford University during the World Meet.
