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!

Swim Team Update - Week of 1-7-2019
Good evening everyone,
Phenomenal job at our meets this past weekend! We saw 84 season best times set between the meets Friday and Saturday. Girls defeated both Euclid and Wickliffe on Friday! Girls took 3rd/8 and boys 5th/8 at the Greater Cleveland Conference meet on Saturday! We compete in one of the toughest leagues in the state for all sports and swimming especially as each many of the top finishers in each event at the league meet will be swimming in the state meet. Girls, a special shout-out, in that in the latest season rankings you were 17th in championship format (scoring 4 swimmers per event) and 27th in dual meet format (scoring 2 swimmers per event) out of the 310 schools/teams in the state with swimming.
Results: Mentor vs Euclid and Wickliffe
Results: Mentor vs GCC Invitational
Scores: Mentor vs GCC Invitational

Reminders:
1.) Swimmers will be split this week into attending one of two meets. Swimmers attending Strongsville Invitational on Wednesday 1/9, your bus will be 4:45pm and the meet will start at 7:00pm. Anyone in the meet on Wednesday should NOT report to practice, just to the bus at the HS at 4:45pm. The meet is at Strongsville Rec Center, NOT Strongsville HS.
2.) Swimmers attending Perry Invitational on Saturday 1/12 will be in sessions by a girls meet in the late morning and a boys meet in the afternoon. Girls bus will leave at 8:00am and the meet will begin at 11:00am. Boys bus is TBA and boys start time is TBA. I am sorry I cannot give you more information but we simply do not have it until Perry combines the entries and gives a timeline. I would estimate, please understand this is without knowing the exact number of teams and entries, a 2:00ish bus time and a start of maybe 3:00-4:00pm? As soon as I receive information on the timeline I will send an update email. When the girls meet ends, boys warmups will begin 20 minutes after. We will have 2 different busses, one for girls and one for the boys. So girls you will travel out, then return after your meet. Boys you can sleep in, then travel out and return after your meet.
3.) 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.
