As a student and a swimmer, the opportunity to continue from club swimming to be engage with the best of both worlds is a dream come true. I feel tremendously grateful to join Coach Kristy Jones warm and well-coached team. I want to thank my all of my coaches, family, and friends for their support over the years. I look forward to next four years to continue to improve my times and contribute to the success of the team! Go Beavers!&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marcus swam the breaststroke leg Santa Monica\u2019s 4&#215;50 medley relay which won the bronze medal at the 2019 CIF-Southern Section DIII Championships. Her 50 breast split of 30.93 was a personal best time. She also won the 2019 league championship title in \u00a0the 100 breast and qualified for the DIII Southern Section meet in the same event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her 4&#215;50 medley relay team set the school record to qualify and swam in the 2019 California CIF State meet.<\/p>\n<p>Her best times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50 free &#8211; 25.04<\/li>\n<li>100 free &#8211; 54.73 (split)<\/li>\n<li>50 breast &#8211; 30.93 (split)<\/li>\n<li>100 breast &#8211; 1:09.36<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the short CIF-SS season in 2021, Santa Monica High School was moved up from DIII to DII, but was still able to quality in the 4&#215;50 medley relay4x100 free relay. Marcus swam a personal best split in the 4&#215;100 free relay of 54.73 that helped the squad break the school record in 3:36.57 and finish sixth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sixth-place relay finish helped put the women at eighth overall in CIF-SS DII. In the Bay League finals, leading up to CIF meet, Marcus set the school record of 1:09.50 in the 100 breast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marcus will join the 2020 New England Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Athletics Conference Championships (NEWMAC) seventh-place finishers in the fall of 2021. She will likely contribute to the team\u2019s score at conference champs as their aim to move up in placing in the conference championship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her top times would have placed her in the B-final of the 100 breast and 50 free, with her relay leg 100 free also good for a B- final. She would just be shy of the B-final in the 200 breast as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you to David Newberg of Team Santa Monica for contributing to this press release.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>If you have a commitment to share, please send a photo and quote via email to hs@swimmingworld.com.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW COMMIT:\u00a0Audrey Marcus of Santa Monica, Calif. has announced her decision to go out of state with commitment to swim at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts beginning in the fall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":474618,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[128596],"class_list":["post-474617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","tag-audrey-marcus"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
