Check this out.....Fifty (50) Career Best Times, Ten (10) Career First Times or Scores and Three (3) In-Season Best Times (meaning the fastest a person has ever swum during the regular season)!

The Boys Team took the very strong Boiling Springs team to task, coming away on the short end of the 120-65 score.  We continue to have some things we need to work on, but our young men should feel nothing but good after that outstanding performance.  The Boys Team record now stands at 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the Colonial Division.  I had a former Boiling Springs coach approach me after the meet to say how strong our boys team looked for having so many new athletes and how much potential he sees in us. I agree!

And the Girls Team, despite swimming some new events for this season, exceeded my expectations, winning by a convincing 112-74.  The Girls Team moved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the Division.  You made quite an opening statement to the rest of the Colonial Division.

And I can't say enough about our divers!!!  I know you would agree Brady, Kolby and Maddie did a fantastic job for their very first meet!  It's clear they've been working extremely hard and that work paid off yesterday.  Each of them contributed important points to our team score.  I want to say a special "Thank You" to Coach Finkey for the work she's done with our divers to get them ready for competition in four weeks.  Remember....they stepped on the diving board for the first time on November 16th.  Incredible!  For each of them to have six dives ready in that short amount of time is a testament to Coach Finkey's proven coaching/teaching abilities and our divers' courage and determination.  Well done.

I also want to thank our Assistant Swimming Coaches - Diane, Elli and Jen - for everything you do to help make our program what it is.  The success we're experiencing is the result of your commitment to our swimmers and your challenging them, every day, to put forth their very best effort!

I'm excited about where we are this early in the season.  We need to continue to work hard and smart and practice with a purpose each and every day, during every yard and every dive. 

More than one person from the Boiling Springs staff went out of their way yesterday to say how very much they like to compete against us because you - athletes - always conduct yourselves in such a positive, respectful manner.
