 UPDATES FOR THE WEEK: All practices are at normal times this week. I was asked last night if this is our last week, and the answer is no. You guys can't get away from me  that fast, we will have all practices next week, except for the Saturday morning group because of the long course meet.WEEKLY QUOTE: If you don't go after what you want, you "ll never have it. If you don't ask...the answer is always no... If you don't step forward you're always in the same spot. Nora Roberts Last Thursday we had a 50's meet in the Senior Prep group between the teams of the "DANCING BANANAS"  and the "FOREST FIRE"   . Many of you turned in some great practice times during the freestyle races and at the end the it was the FIRE 147.5 and the Banana's 128.5 . Winning the freestyle event was Matt Jones of the fire and taking 2nd for the Bananas was Miles Oakley. The upset here was Rachel Anderson edging out Logan for 3rd place for the fire. Yes we all have to swim the backstroke Sophie so lets get up and go! Matt Jones took another win here for the fire with second going to the Bananas Logan Moore. The backstroke events saw the Dancing Banana's throw some water on the Fire by outscoring them 130 to 114 and now the scoreboard looks like this 258.5 and the 261.5. It was now time for Alex to whine a little because the breaststroke event had arrived and which team had the  .Sophie and Joseph took first and second for the as they outscored the 125.5 to 115.5 and now going into the fly event the score was Banana's 374 and the Fire 386 The Fire again took the top two places with Matt Jones and Rachel Anderson, Joseph also took 4th. The Banana's had enough and came out with their dancing shoes  on and took the 3rd with Gillian, and then took 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th with Will, Miles, Logan, Molly, and Sarah. They outscored the Fire 129 to 102. The final board at the end of practice with nothing left to do but grab a tootsie and a Heresy bar looked like this: 503 488. Nice comeback by the "Dancing Bananas" It ain't over till that  SINGS! GREAT JOB BY ALL OF YOU!AGE GROUP 1: You all have been working really hard on the drills that we have been doing in fly, and last night Beth and I were very pleased with what we saw as we worked through that set. Our arms are wider and our stroke is much longer. Nice Job. Mike |
