Notes from Head Coach
I was pretty pleased with our 3 bronze plus swimmers there for their time and without their coach managing 18 best times… congrats to Jessica, Amanda, and Damond. Solid performances from kids that have battled injuries on and off during past cycle. Best times in ().
- Jaida M(6) Jordan M(5), Hailie P(5), Kaela M(4)
Over 20 updates in our history TOP 10 is just remarkable in one meet. 290 best times is crazy, great work!
Congrats to all and remember that a swimming season is a marathon; 1 meet or 1 race doesn’t reflect your improvement in all aspects and you all have at least 10 more meets to improve on!!!
