NASSAU, BAHAMAS – We spoke Algernon Cargill, President of Bahamas Aquatics at the invitational at the Betty Kelly Kenning Aquatics Center in New Providence.

The meet, which is the last of the calendar year, gave swimmers one final chance to leave their marks before they move up in age groups on January 1st.

Cargill was ecstatic about the level of competition at the meet, and some international swimmers even got in the pool.

And Mako Aquatics turned in the strongest performance by far, pacing the meet with 1853 points.

Blue Waves Swim Club was a distant second with 487 points, and Barracuda Swim Club was third with 435 points.

With the year wrapped up, Cargill reflected on another successful year for Bahamas Aquatics.

Rookie sensation VJ Edgecombe and his Philadelphia 76ers got the better of his countryman Klay Thompson’s Dallas Mavericks last night, winning 121-114.

VJ had another standout performance, contributing 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists to the win.

Klay came off the bench for the Mavs, dropping 10 off the bench in 18 minutes.

Tyrese Maxey dropped 38 for the Sixers as well. VJ’s draft mate cooper Flagg had 24 points for the Mavs.

Over in college, Deyton Albury had 10 points and 7 dimes in New Mexico’s 88-65 win over San Jose State.
