Hi Everyone!

REGULAR PRACTICE SCHEDULE TOMORROW, MONDAY 1/18

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the meet at Cedar City!  The team did well, finishing second to Cedar City HS in both the boys and the girls. The girls were solidly in second.  The boys meet was extremely close.  Cedar City HS was first, 2 points ahead of East , and we finished 1 point ahead of Uintah HS (another 4A school).  We had some good races!


Some Information About the Next Couple of Weeks:
The Highland invite on Friday and Saturday 1/22-23 will be REQUIRED for all VARSITY swimmers, and some other relay swimmers.  Everyone else is encouraged to attend, but not required.  It is ok for the JV swimmers to attend only one day, if desired. There will be a bus from East on Friday, but NO BUS on Saturday.  Swimmers in the meet on Saturday will be expected to get to the Fairmont Aquatic Center on their own. Entries are due on TUESDAY 1/19, so swimmers must let me know TOMORROW (Monday) if attending.  There is an entry fee, which the school pays, but I don’t want to pay for swimmers who won’t be there!



The Region Championship Meet on Friday, January 29th is the end of the season for most of our swimmers.  Everyone swims at the Region Championships.  Even though the meet is being held at South Davis Aquatic Center, East is considered the host, and I am the meet director (adding a little extra stress!)  It is the last chance for our swimmers to qualify for the state meet at BYU on Feb 12 and 13!
