I can't believe we had our last regular meet already, but I'm so excited for the Tech meet and our party!  We ended up losing 414-259, but they again had many more swimmers than we did, and I'm so proud of how our kids swam! Lots of results/details below, and I'm sorry we didn't get to finish the relays!

In this email:

• ASA - needed or we can't swim
• Meet results
• Team party reminder

ASA - NEEDED OR WE CAN'T SWIM THURSDAY

We need 2 timers (in the boys pool) and 1 runner (will get in lots of steps). I would like to split this in 2 shifts, and would love to have boys' parents be the timers as you'll get to see them swim since you would be in that pool, but it can be anyone, we just have to have it covered. Please email me what you can cover (timer or runner and which shift you prefer, 1st or 2nd). 1st shift will be 9am-11:15am, 2nd shift will be 11:15am-meet finish (probably around 1:30)

MEET RESULTS

I was so proud of how our kids encourage each other and congratulated the other team as well! I have attached the full results and you can see their old times and the new time as well.  

We had a lot of first place finishers and a ton of huge drops, which is pretty impressive for this point in the season. Below I have details for the biggest "loser" and first place finishes.

Our biggest losers this week are: Hazel Blackstone who dropped 18 seconds in her 50 free and 11 seconds in her 50 fly! Lola Toole who dropped 13 seconds in her 50 free! And Harper Burt who dropped 11 seconds in her 50 back and 10 seconds in her 50 fly! Great job guys!

Other big "losers" (those who dropped 5 or more seconds) are listed below. Congrats to all!

Violet Bell - 7 sec in 50 free

Samantha Burke - 6 sec in 25 back

Sylvia Gunter - 6 sec in 25 back

Kara Hutton - 6 sec in 100 IM
