Swim Team Update - Week of 1-28-19

Good evening everyone,

Great way to end the season! Both teams finished with wins over South and Euclid on Saturday! Girls season record ends at 11-4 and boys 10-5! Champs will be held Saturday for swimmers that have already been tapering. Swimmers in Sectionals (Sat Feb 9th) have a full week of practice. Lineups with exact events will be posted during the week. Results from this past week are linked below.

Results: Mentor vs Chardon and Brunswick
Results: Mentor vs South and Euclid
Top Times: Mentor Cardinals 2018-2019

Reminders:
1.) It is critically important to be at practice each day during taper. Our goal is a controlled drop of both yardage and intensity by day. One missed day can dramatically throw off the results. Try to eat healthy and avoid a lot of junk food. Try to get as much rest as possible including a good night of sleep. Last year we saw 53 of 56 swims at sectionals be season and/or lifetime bests. Remember that taper works as well as what you put into it!
2.) This will be the last week of any morning/makeup practices. Nobody should be doing doubles at this point because of the taper.
3.) We are in need of a few parent volunteers to sell 50/50 tickets at the home basketball game on Saturday night. Please email kathiec@me.com if you would like to help out! Thank you!
