District Championships

The team swam well at the District Championships. We did not place as high as we did last year seeing as we did not have the numbers to compete in championship style scoring but that did not stop many individuals from swimming best times and making the Regional Championship meet. We had several swimmers make the finals and most importantly every single relay, with the exception of one, made the final. That just shows me the potential of the team when they can swim together.

There were many things that I took into consideration after this meet. The first being that I am going to really miss our seniors. They supply the blood flow of the program with their energy and race style mentality. The second, however, was how proud I was of the upcoming team. I know that the future of the team is secure because every class below the seniors is strong and has the ability to continue the tradition of swimming fast and competing at the highest levels of High School swimming. I know that with a little more commitment in the off season this can be a team that grows to be a real competitor in this district.

County Champions

Another year and we won another County Championship. I was very impressed with the team as a whole. I really believe that we are a team that does not have a weak swimmer and I think that was the real difference between us and Key West. They definitely had the numbers on their side but we had the quality on our side. It was really nice to see the team clicking as one cohesive machine. Even when we already knew that we had secured the victory every kid swam hard right until the last swim. It's just the way we are. We will swim same against Marathon that we swim against Ransom. We swim to our best potential every time!

Our eyes are still focused on the future. I brought the championship plaques to practice the other day. I had everyone just stare at them for a moment and allow themselves to feel accomplishment. Directly after, however, I talked about District Championships. The season isn't over and we still have a lot to do. I still want to take a big team to Regionals and the only way to do that is to swim well at Districts. I think we have the ability and the potential to place high at districts and we are not only ready but preparing ourselves for the opportunity to perform!
