* Earley, the Bay Swim founder, also finished a solo swim on June
14, 1992 (the day of the canceled Hanks event); Brian's name was inadvertently omitted
from the 1989 GCBS results. |
| ** In 1993, the GCBS participant's minimum age requirement was increased to 15
years. Hence, these "records" will likely remain unbroken. In the
1993-2007 events, 46 15-year-olds have finished the event. Born
on June 13, 1987, David
Collier swam two GCBSs as a 15-year old (16JUN02 and 08JUN03), the first one just 3 days
after turning 15. Previously (1986-1991), 42 15-year-olds, 25 14-year-olds, 9
13-year-olds, and the three 12-year-olds (shown above) finished a Bay Swim. In 1992,
two 16-year-olds were among the 48 finishers!
In 1985, Christopher Ritter won the Hanks-run Bay Swim shortly after
turning 14. |
