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.
