December 29 - January 2 -- Reminder for this week!

Happy New Year Everyone!! 

This is a repeat reminder for this week... 

REMEMBER your attendance counts over the holiday break!! If you are not at 85% on January 15, you will not be able to attend the Cedar City Meet with the team. Several of you are now below 85%. There will be a couple of make-up opportunities in January, but not enough to pull your percentage up much. Coming twice on Mondays also works as a make-up for all but the varsity swimmers.  

Attendance:

• 100%+: Allison, Maddie, Meghan, Mary, Griffin  
• 93-99%: Mei, Eden, Kanna, Lauren, Ally, Madeline, Jamie, Katy, Stephanie, Jessie, Nicole, Jackson, Alex, Dylan, Jack, James, Cameron, Travis  
• 85-92%: Sam, Ainu, Dana, Abbey, Emma, Noah, Daxton, Rob, Jared, Nick, Zach, Ryan, Hank, Nathan (Be careful - could slip below 85%) 
• <85%: Olivia, Chiharu, Wendy, Adam (need make-ups - DON'T miss!!) 

Anyone whose attendance percentage is below about 92% is vulnerable over this break. The more excused absences you have had, the more careful you must be since your percentage will fall faster. The practice schedule is detailed below. Make careful note of the times. 

This Week (12/29-1/3): 

• 12/29 Monday:  Practices (BOTH for varsity, ONE for all others) 7-8:30AM and 3-4:30PM
• 12/30 Tuesday: Practice 8-9:30AM (notice this one is different!)
• 12/31 Wednesday:  7-8:30AM Varsity AND 3-4:30PM Friends and Family Meet!! ALL family members, alumni and East Swimming friends are invited to participate.  Spread the word! Holiday treats afterward
• 1/1 Thursday - HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Moratorium - no practice
• 1/2 Friday: Practice 7-8:30AM

Our Friends And Family Meet on Wednesday afternoon, New Years Eve!, counts as a normal practice (not double like other meets). Families are encouraged to participate and celebrate the New Year with us! Team members are expected to swim 2 events and as many relays as you want with your family and friends. We will have treats afterwards. Events will be: 200 Medley Relay, 50 Free, 50 Breast, 100 IM, 50 Back, 50 Fly, 200 Free Relay.

Lost and Found: I am starting to collect several items that have been left behind by ??? East swim water bottle, black hat, blue and grey fins. Please let me know if these are yours.

Heads-up for returning week of the new year (1/5-1/9): 

• Wed. January 7th – (Varsity) breakfast provided by Tippets family
• Fri. January 9th - Breakfast provided by the Bodnar Family
• Fri. January 9th - East @ Woodscross - AWAY MEET 
• SOUTH DAVIS REC CENTER
  550 North 200 West, Bountiful
• Fri. January 9th - Dinner at B & D Burger after Woodscross Meet
• Fri. January 9th – Bus snacks provided by Keller Family

DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 2 -- Happy Holidays!!

I hope you all have a great Christmas and holiday break! 

This week we have NO practices except Friday 12/26 (7-8:30am).We had another good meet last Thursday. I think (hope) we have four individual state qualifiers now: Nathan Van Buren in the 100 Breast, Katy Mayer in the 500 Free, Ainu Kaufusi in the 100 Breast, and Meghan Rainier in a bunch of events. Plus, I am pretty confident that we have, or will qualify, all three of the girls relays!! YAY! We have several more swimmers who are right on the edge of qualifying, as well as all the boys relays, but times will probably still need to come down.

Our swimmers of the meet last week were Nicole Sullivan for dropping 8 seconds on her breaststroke and Jared Hunt for breaking that 1 minute barrier in his 100 free leading off the relay, after clocking a 1:00.00 in his individual event. Nice job!

REMEMBER your attendance counts over the holiday break!! If you are not at 85% on January 15, you will not be able to attend the Cedar City Meet with the team. Several of you are below 85% now. There will be a couple of make-up opportunities in January, but not enough to pull your percentage up much. Coming twice on Mondays also works as a make-up for all but the varsity swimmers. If you have doctors' notes for missing because you were sick - bring them to me! 

Attendance:

·        100%+: Allison, Maddie, Kanna, Ally, Meghan, Mary, Griffin,Jackson

·        95-99%: Eden, Lauren, Madeline, Jamie, Katy, Stephanie, Jessie, Nicole, Alex, Jack,Travis

·        90-94%: Mei, Ainu, Abbey, Daxton, Jared, Dylan, Ryan, James, Cameron

·        85-89%: Sam, Dana, Emma, Wendy, Noah, Nick, Zach, Hank, Nathan

·        83-84%: Olivia, Chiharu, Adam, Rob

Anyone whose attendance percentage is below about 92% is vulnerable over this break. The more excused absences you have had, the more careful you must be since your percentage will fall faster. The practice schedule is detailed below. Make careful note of the times.

DECEMBER 15-19, 2014 -- NICE JOB LAST WEEK!!

That was a tough week.  You all did really well.  The meet with Herriman was fantastic.  We had a bunch more best times in Park City.  The team placed 7th overall - girls 6th, boys 7th (would have been sixth - but for DQs and missed turns). Relays' times came down.  I think we are in pretty good shape heading into the Christmas break!

Swimmers of the Meets

• Hillcrest/Bonneville/RH: Allison (swimming the 200IM!!) AND Nick (dropping a lot of time and going under 1:00 in his 100 free!)
• Herriman/Stansbury/RH: Madeline (dropping 17 sec in the 500 and swimming backstoke!) AND Hank (dropping time in both events and going under 1:00 in his 100 free!)
• Park City Invite: Team High Point Winners - Meghan (200 Fly-2nd & 500 Free-2nd) AND Jack (200 IM-6th & 500 Free-8th)    

This week is a fairly normal week, and not too busy.  On Dec 17th, the Mayers are hosting dinner again, and on the 18th we have a HOME meet with Fremont.  Best dress at school.  That is EVERYONE!

Breakfasts this Week

DECEMBER 11, 2014 -- PARK CITY INVITATIONAL MEET UPDATE!

Our warm up time for the Park City Invitational is 7:30-8:00am - SO, the bus is now scheduled for 6:30am on Saturday.  It will pick us up at the usual place at East.

Remember to bring warm-ups and flip flops or something for your feet.  They are opening additional locker rooms down the hall from the lobby. There will be some breakfast type snacks on the bus and there has been a concession stand in the lobby in past years.  The time line has the meet lasting until 2pm - so you will all be hungry for pizza at the Pie afterwards.  Swimmers bring $5.00 towards pizza and the team will pick-up the remainder.  

The Park City team is collecting toys. They would be happy for any donations.  See flyer below.

Parents, East is asked to supply 2 timers for lane 8 at the meet.  Please fill in if able.  

The meet starts at 8:45 am.  The address is 2465 West Kilby Rd., Park City at the Ecker Hill Middle School.

Go EAST!

DECEMBER 8-13 -- Really Busy Swim Week

I had a lot of fun skating with you.  You are a good bunch of kids.  I hope no one got hurt!  I saw (and heard) some hard falls. It sounds like the dinner was a big success too.  For those of you who missed it - you have a present waiting for you.  Joslin Wright will have them at the meet on Tuesday to give to you.  Remember NOT to wash them in the dishwasher - they will melt!  

This week is crazy.  We have 3 meets!  (Who planned THAT?)  Here is the schedule:

• Normal practice schedule
• Monday 12/8: Dinner in the Commons at EAST after practice
• Tuesday 12/9:  Hillcrest(5A), Bonneville(4A), Rowland Hall(2A) @ EAST - HOME meet - Best dress at school
• Wednesday 12/10: Dinner at the Wright's house (1392 Canterbury Dr) after practice
• Thursday 12/11: Herriman(5A), Stansbury(3A), Rowland Hall(2A) @ EAST - HOME meet - Best dress at school
• Saturday 12/13: Park City Invite (2465 West Kilby Road, Park City) - BUS at 6:45AM at the usual spot
• Bus snacks provided by Hank Thompson family
• Dinner/late lunch at The Pie - University basement location

As usual, all meets are required, and count double.  PLEASE let me know ahead of time if you cannot attend. 

As a challenge to the JV swimmers - I'd like you to pick an event that you haven't swam in a meet before to enter in one (or both) of our HOME meets this week.  Varsity-Invited swimmers should continue to practice their best events.  Varsity swimmers should finish up events on their list this week at our home meets, and enter the events they care most about in Park City. 

The Park City meet has an entry fee for each swimmer, which the school will pay, but I don't like to pay for swimmers who don't show up! Entries are due for that meet on Tuesday, so I must know of conflicts before then.  This meet will have teams from across the state 5A, 4A, 3A & 2A, most of them we have not, and will not, swim against at any other time, or not until the state meet.

Swimmers of the Meet: 

Swimmers of the meet last week against Kearns!  Kearns is one of the top teams in 4A, so it is always a tough meet.  We had some trouble, and learned some things.  First - swimmers need to make more effort to stay warm.  At a pool like Kearns, warm-up jackets and pants are necessary.  It is also important to wear flip-flops, sandals, or shoes.  The deck out there was freezing, making it very hard to stay warm without something on your feet.  Shivering uses a TON of energy that would be better spent in your race!  The Park CIty pool can be freezing too - bring warm clothes and wear something on your feet!!  Second - staying positive is a TEAM effort.  It's a lot more fun to win, but it is still possible to swim well, when you concentrate on your race and your teammates are cheering for you!

We had some great results.  The women's 400 free relay was really exciting!  They dropped their time by 4 seconds and won a very close race!  There were some really good individual results too.  The girls' swimmer of the meet was Nicole Sullivan.  She dropped her time in the 100 free by 11.57 seconds!  She dropped her time in the 50 free by 5.55 seconds!  Nice work!  The guys' swimmer of the meet went to two swimmers.  Ryan Pratt improved a lot in his two events, dropping 5.9 seconds in his 100 free, and 1.58 in his 50 free.  Great!  However, Ryan wasn't at practice Friday morning, so Jackson Keller won the cap.  Jackson also had a great meet dropping nearly a second in both the 100 breast, and the 100 free with a 59.54, breaking a minute for the first time!!  That is a milestone barrier that is fun to break! 

Congratulations to those swimmers!  Who will it be this week??

Thanks to the Tippets, Buhler, and Price families for breakfasts last week. We LOVE the breakfasts!

Thanks to the Zach Olson family for bus snacks - even though Zach was too sick to swim!

Thanks to Tippets, Rainier, Sloan, Hopson, Service, Swanson, and Wright families for dinner at the Holiday party!

REMEMBER:

The holiday break practices are required and count toward your attendance percentage. Anyone who is below 85% on January 13 when entries are due for the Cedar City meet will not be entered, and may not attend with the team Jan 16-17. We might be able to offer a make-up practice in January - but don't count on it. Your attendance is good now. Keep it up!

DECEMBER 1-6 --It's December already!‏ 

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and are rested and excited to head into the next busy weeks of swimming.  This week we swim against Kearns who is one of the top teams in 4A.  Next week we have 3 meets including the Park City Invitational where we will swim against different teams from all divisions.  Add in a Christmas party, and some team dinners and it means there is a lot of time devoted to our team.

We had a fun and exciting meet last week at Cyprus.  I've decided to start naming a swimmer-of-the-meet for both the boys and the girls.  This week Katy Mayer was the girl honored for her efforts at the meet.  She swam the first 500 of her life in a 6:05. Last year a 6:04 qualified for state.  Fantastic Katy!  And then, not to let his little sister out do him, Alex Mayer was the other honoree.  Alex has had a good year so far.  He has worked hard in practice, and his times have been dropping. He had personal best times in both of his individual events at Cyprus. Congratulations Katy and Alex!  

THANK YOU to Griffin Hale and his family for providing snacks on the bus last week.

Nice job at the meet this week.  We had some more REALLY GOOD swims, and many event winners!  PLUS, our team won!  YAY!  Check the Top50 list to see how we are doing.  We have some swimmers near the very top!  The site is not fully functional at this point as far as individual results, but the top50 lists are there.  (utswimcoach.com)  It looks like the girls 200 FR relay (Eden, 'Ainu, Katy, and Meghan) might already have a time good enough to qualify for state!  I hope so!!

NOVEMBER 17-22, 2014 -- FIRST HOME MEET THIS WEEK!!

Hello All - 

We have another busy week coming up!  I hope everyone had fun at the relay meet and Laser Tag last week.  Things get more serious now. Here we go with another ...long... email.

CONGRATULATIONS to Alex Mayer and Katy Mayer for being promoted to VARSITY, and Nick Olsen for being added to Varsity Invited!

Results

Some of the venues we visit have the ability to publish live results through Meet Mobile.  The free app for your apple or android phone can be found here:  Meet Mobile app

Another resource for swimmers and parents is the USCA website: utswimcoach.com.  This lists the top50 swims to date in the state in each event. We care about the 4A top50 and relays.  You can also find graphs of each swimmers' times by clicking on EAST swimmers.  As the season winds down swimmers who appear in the top50 have a chance of qualifying for state.  The top50 is updated each Sunday night with the meets from that week.  The first one should go up today sometime. 

The results of our meets will also be posted on our blog site: eastswimteam.blogspot.com  Click on the Meet Results tab.

Relay Meet

Good job at the relay meet!  I was so happy that EVERY swimmer entered showed up ready to swim!  You are AWESOME.  The boys team AND girls team EACH WON 3 relays!!  The girls won the 200 Partner Medley (Dana, Abbey, Mary, Jamie, Sammy, Ally, Stephanie, Olivia) with great coaching from Ian, and the 800 Free Relay (Eden, Katy, Maddie, Meghan) which is the most difficult relay in the meet.  The boys won the T-shirt relay (Hank, Nick, Zach, Alex) keeping the tradition alive, and the 400 Medley Relay (Griffin, Nathan, Jack, James) which is the 2nd hardest relay event.  EAST really cleaned up in the Fin Relay winning BOTH the boys (Alex, Jared, Nate, Griffin) AND the girls (Mei, Eden, Jamie, Katy).  As a team, EAST place third, beating Highland by 2 points!  YEAH!

Activites LAST week

The laser party on Saturday was well attended and really fun!  MANY thanks to the Hopson, Jensen, Wright, and Swanson families for making it a success!  Watch for photos on the Blog site.

Let’s End Poverty

A PROGRAM OF CHOICE HUMANITARIAN

CLOTHING DRIVE

BRING CLOTHING, BOOKS, SHOES & OTHER HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO HELP END POVERTY

November 17^th – 24^th

You may have heard that the East High Student Senate is hosting a drive in conjunction with Choice Humanitarian – Lets End Poverty, to collect clothing, books and household items to help end poverty around the world.

The drive is scheduled for November 17th-24^th (for clubs and teams only, the drive ends school wide on the 21^st). To maximize participation and build excitement throughout the school, it has been decided that there will be a competition between the clubs and sports teams to see who can collect the most bags. 

To encourage Swim Team participation for a donation of clothing, books, shoes or household items Coach Cathy will give a make-up swim practice credit. 

Bring your donations to any MORNING practice November 17-24 and deliver to Joslin Wright at the breakfast tables.  She will collect your donation and make note, then you will receive the practice credit. 

We challenge all swimmers to donate even if they don’t need extra participation credits to show swim team spirit and school pride!
