Sectional Wrap

What an afternoon!  Without a doubt our season has been a success and I'm very proud to have been a part of it.  Thanks to all our swimmers and parents that have worked hard all season.  It's hard to believe we started this journey just 14 weeks ago!

All results are now available on http://www.swimmeet.com/meets/swdistrict15/

Remember if you have not qualified for districts you are finished for the high school season- but welcome to attend practices next week.  However, please remember that Eric and I will have to be primarily focused on the girls racing at Districts.

Also, if you have not signed up for email alerts for this site please do so - I will be continuing to post throughout the year with all kinds of fun stuff.  Even though our season is short we are still a team during the off season!

Information on summer and or club teams with myself and/or Coach Eric will be upcoming.
