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 29^th 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!

Weekly Email:  January 10-16, 2016 -- Cedar City Here We Come!

Thank you to the Day, Service and Ledbetter Families for breakfasts and bus snacks last week.

Freshman Fair on Wednesday Jan 13th at 5:30.  The Swim team will have a table.  This is a chance to introduce ourselves to the freshmen-to-be that are at EAST to check out the school.  

We are going to NEED some new swimmers  since we have a lot of seniors this year, and even more next year.  

Helping at the Freshman Fair COUNTS as a MAKE-UP, so please plan on it!

This Week:

• Normal practice schedule.
• Wednesday, Jan. 13 – Varsity Breakfast provided by Nate Van Buren and Family
• Wednesday, Jan. 13 -  5:30pm - Freshman Fair - helping at the table is a MAKE-UP credit! 
• Wednesday, Jan. 13 - Last day to pay $30 for ALL swimmers going to Cedar.
• Friday, Jan 15 – Morning practice 6:00 -7:00 am
• Friday, Jan. 15 - Cedar City Invite - AWAY MEET – Bus at 8:45 am
• Friday, Jan. 15 - Bus snacks provided by Connor Rich, Nate Van Buren and Families
• Friday, Jan. 15 - Meet snacks provided by Keller, McDonald, Lewis, Phillips, Cowie, Bodnar, Robinson, Jensen, Day, Van Buren, Service, Rainier, and Buhler Families

• Remember to bring money ($10-15) we will be stopping for lunch after the meet

Looking forward to Cedar City:

I have included an itinerary for our trip THIS week!

12 swimmers are NOT going, and do NOT need to pay the $30:

Nicole Blanchard, Madison Dunn, Ally Hopson, Lindsay Lloyd, Nicole Sullivan, Ramsey Fautin, Jojo Lyman, Nick Olsen, Zach Olson, Austin Pratt, Isaac Schiel, Hank Thompson

Everyone else needs to be aware that if the $30 is not paid, it will go on your fines list – even if you have a last-minute change-of-mind.  We have already arranged for hotel rooms, meals, meet fees, and transportation. 

This $30, along with fund raising money, pays for rooms, treats, lunch on the bus, meet fees, dinner, transportation and the bus driver.  It does NOT pay for lunch after the meet on Saturday when we plan to go to Cafe Rio.  Bring $10 or $15 with you for lunch.

Cedar City Check List:

• Cost: Pay $30 to the EAST Treasurer by Wed. Jan 13^th
• Class: Remember – you will miss classes on Friday Jan 15^th (B Day) PLAN ahead!
• Practice: Keep attendance percentage up
• Forms: Jared HUNT – we need the Parent Approval form!

Remember to bring warm clothes and something for your feet to wear during the meet.  Performance suffers if you get cold!  The bus does not have room for a lot of extra stuff.  Be reasonable with what you bring.  We will be on a regular school bus.

Heads up for Next Week:

• Tuesday, Jan. 19 - Bonneville, East, Ogden @ Ogden - AWAY MEET
  • Bring money ($10-15) we will be stopping for dinner on the way home
• Wednesday, Jan. 20 – Varsity Breakfast provided by Kanna Crosland and Family
