Weekly Email:  2/7-13/16 -- STATE!!


Hello Everyone!

I'm missing most of you already!  I hope a bunch of you are planning on coming with the state swimmers to the meet at BYU!  It will be very exciting, and we are hoping for great swims!  Come cheer on your teammates and/or be inspired to get yourself qualified to swim at the state meet next year! Other than the college meets, the state meets are the fastest meets in the state. We have several swimmers seeded at the top, and in the fast heats.  I’m expecting some team records to go down at this meet! 


The psych sheet is posted on utswimcoach.com (in the 4A column), psych sheet.  I expect the heat sheets to show up there soon.

Parents, and swimmers, interested in timing, please send your name to me, and I can turn that in.  I have not seen a call for timers, so I don’t know if it is full or not, but we can try.

Here is a link for all the State Meet information: STATE MEET info
