Best For Last- Moore Captures Win On Final Swim Of The Day


Gabbie Moore was an underdog all day at the 2012 Central Pennsylvania YMCA Swim League championship meet this past Saturday.  She was part of a 200 medley relay that was seeded behind Bloomsburg Y (BAY) but even though the foursome of Moore, Sam Keegan, Emma Butzler, and Kendra White dropped a second in the final, they were unable to topple the favorite and finished second. 

Her next event was the 50 yard freestyle where she was seeded second behind BAY swimmer Hanna Everhart.   A hard swim almost dropped her time by one second but still not enough to unseat Everhart. 

She was seeded third in her next race, the 50 yard butterfly, behind Everhart and Butzler where she finished third.

It was her last swim of the day where Moore made her statement.  Seeded second behind BAY's Rebecca Decker (yes, Bloomsburg was incredibly tough) in the 50 yard backstroke, she dropped over 2 seconds to not only capture the event but set her personal best time.  Video of her race can be viewed below and results can be viewed here.  Moore is in lane 4 with Decker in lane 3 (lane 1 is at bottom of the video with lane 6 at the top)
