Great work at the league meet on Saturday! 28 swimmers advanced to finals and set 52 season-best times out of a total 70 swims! Results and our schedule for the week are included below. Please check them carefully as we have a lot happening this week.
1.) We are in need of a few timer volunteers for our home meet Friday at Spire against North and Brush. If you are able to help us out, please place your name on the linked Google form. All swimmers that meet attendance will be entered in this meet.
2.) Anyone that was not in the league meet this past Saturday will be in the Mustang Invitational Wed 1/8 at Strongsville Rec Center. Anyone that was in the league meet but would like to swim different events also has the option to attend. If you do not attend, you will have normal practice. This meet is set to begin at 6:30 pm at the Strongsville Rec Center (Not Strongsville HS). There will be a bus to and from the meet but we will allow parent sign-outs for travel home when the meet concludes because it is a school night.
3.) Swimmers attending Perry Invitational (about 45 swimmers) on Saturday 1/11 will be in sessions with a girls meet in the late morning and a boys meet in the afternoon. Girls bus will leave at 8:00 am and the meet beginning at 11:00 am. Boys bus is TBA and boys start time is TBA. I am sorry I cannot provide 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.
4.) Divers will be diving for the Perry Invitational on Friday night at Perry High School instead of attending the dual meet at Spire. The bus will leave at 5:00 pm, warmups will begin at 6:00 pm, and diving competition will start at 7:00 pm. This is a 6 dive format for the invitational.
5.) Attention seniors, starting this week we will have senior bio sheets at practice. A reminder that these need to be completed this week so we can have them ready for senior night at Spire on Friday 1/17 against South and Perry.
6.) We will be doing our Superbowl square fundraiser again this year. The board will be available at the home meet this week!
7.) 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!
