We swam really well.  Unlike most pools, Valleybrook does not have lights.  So we must be done at dark.  Most pools in our league have lights allowing you to finish the meet.  Swimmer's of the Meet are Rebecca Wright, Baujun Sun, Jared Vogel and Eva Ehrhardt.

 

Excellent swimming.  We also had an excellent display of team spirit at the end.  I encourage more of this dancing and excitment....it makes meets fun and more lively. The Swimmer's of the meet are Bianca Palacios, Tanner Sines, Brooke Vogel and Eryk Wu.

 

A Baacfins get well soon goes out to Ida Ehrhardt who had an unfortunate run in with a pool wall.  Get well soon.

 

We did have alot of scratches after the scratch deadline this last meet.  This makes it very hard on the coaching staff to plan effectively.  We had a few events that went swimmerless because of late scratches.  PLEASE Observe the scratch deadlines when possible!  The coaching staff must turn in our entries 2 days before the meet (Monday for Wednesday meets and Thursday for Saturday meets.  I must send them by 6 PM.  After that time I am not allowed to fix things. I will pick up the scratch sheet after practice in the AM on those days. If you need to scratch for an emergency send me an e-mail or call my cell phone (301-752-1538).
