Hi Wavemakers!

We ended up on the short end of the score again last night, 443-348, but we had a lot of "wins".  First, the other team has a lot of year round swimmers, and they weren't missing very many kids at all (per their coach).  We have fewer year round swimmers to begin with, and we were missing a lot of really fast kids, so to keep the meet within 100 points was actually pretty impressive.  We didn't have anyone just not show up to the meet, so thank you again!  We did have a few get sick, but we obviously can't help that.

EVENING PRACTICES

We had a super crowded practice on Monday evening this week.  We understand that many of you are in camps and need to come in the evening, but we are asking that if it is at all possible, please come in the morning.  We only get 2 lanes at night no matter how many kids we have.  Thanks!

RSVP FOR NEXT MEET, TUESDAY 6/12

Here is the initial list of kids NOT swimming in the meet.  For all that are juniors, if they swim the whole way prior to the meet, we can enter them.  If there are any errors, please go to the website (mtps.swimtopia.com), click on "calendar", and then "meet entry".  Please do so by Thursday night.  Thanks!

TEAM RECORDS

I have attached our team records that I put together a few years ago to the best of my ability.  I did not have times going back to the start of the team, but I did have times going back many years.  We have already had 11 records broken this year listed below (and highlighted in yellow in the attachment)!!  We also have many others who are super close to breaking others.  Great job!

MEET RESULTS

We have been working on finishing the race strong and hitting the wall under the water, and everyone did a really good job with this last night!  I was very impressed with how many kids 10 and younger had great finishes!  So many of our kids 11 and up were amazingly helpful in organizing the little ones and making sure all were where they were supposed to be.  Thank you!  I've attached the full meet results and some highlights are below.

Our biggest "loser" for this meet was Emily Leek!  Emily dropped 3:12 in her 25 backstroke...amazing, and she dropped 19 seconds in her 25 free!  Eli Fay also dropped 2:34 in his 25 back and 6 in his 25 free!  While we usually only have 1 biggest "loser", I thought dropping over 2 minutes in 1 lap was worthy of being highlighted!  Here are the other kids who dropped 5 or more seconds in 1 race.  And we had so many more best times, but as you know it gets harder to drop 5 seconds the faster you get!  Great job to all!
