JANUARY 12-17, 2015


Hi Swimmers and Parents!

I can't believe how the season is winding down!  We only have 3 regular season meets left.  Then Region.  Then State.  

Last week was a good meet - especially considering we don't usually do great at the first meet after the holiday break. And that meet was huge and long. 4 of the 6 teams were 5A.  East was 3rd in the guys, 4th in the girls, and 3rd overall.  We beat the other 4A team - WoodsCross in both!!  Way to go!!  I think (hope) Griffin is now qualified for state, and went under a minute in his 100 back!  And Katy is no longer on the bubble in the 500, and went under 6:00 - she is absolutely in!!  'Ainu is now on the downslope of the bubble in breaststroke, I hope.  Girls breaststroke is SO fast this year!  Her time would easily qualify in past years, but this year??   Jack and Alex are on the bubble in the 500 with their time drops.  At the end of the 200IM, at that meet - East was in 1st place - by the end of the sprints, East was in 4th. Ugh, we will be working on sprinting...
