Swim Team Update - Week of 12-17-18

Good evening everyone,

Great work on Saturday! Mentor girls finished 14th and boys 20th. This was out of 40 teams and included over 900 swimmers against some of best competition in the state. Mentor swimmers combined for 36 season-best times at the meet. Results are linked below. We are back with a dual meet against North and Aurora this Friday night at Spire.

Results: Mentor vs Winter Champs Invitational

Reminders:
1.) Be sure to study for exams Wed, Thu, and Fri of this week. Remember the swim team is consistently at the top of team-high GPA in the school. Study and do your best! I would prefer nobody does doubles this week and instead that you use the extra time to review. I will still offer the two practice options to give you flexibility. Remember that is 100% more options to meet your attendance than any other team/sport at any level, varsity, junior varsity, or freshmen, in the school. Use them as you need and good luck on your tests!
2.) Timers – We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our home meet this Friday. The touchpads will nearly always get the time, from there the backup buttons, and as a last resort the lane timers. We need two per lane per OHSAA rule but I promise it is not high-stress. It also offers the best view of all the races! If interested, please place your name on any of the open lines.
1.) For practice absences, please send us a quick email with date and reason (doc appointment, family emergency, sick, sport, etc) so that we can update attendance. Remember that missed practices should be made up and you have two options to meet your attendance requirement for each day! A giant thank you to those of you that have been on track with this!
