United States Masters Swimming, the governing body for the sport, compiles results from hundreds of meets during the year to compile its top-10 lists by age groups. More than 50,000 athletes compete in meets during the year in search of the coveted honor. The top UVRays (and their number of top-10 rankings): Fritz Bedford (17); Arnold Meardon (12); head coach Barbara Hummel (9); Mary Gentry, Ruth Stavis, and Cynthia Barton (2 each); Richard DiLalla, Sarah Mooney, Don Graber, and Bob Harris (1 each).
