MISCA Meet Info

The following is the list of swimmers heading to MISCA this weekend:
Kassi Aalderink, Emily Bussis, Hailey Fathman, Maddy Kempkers, Maddie Klenk, Brittni Ritter, Richelle Terpstra, and Liz VandeWege.

We will be meeting at our pool at 7:00 am for breakfast provided by Mr. Ritter. Warm-up starts at 10:00 and the meet starts at noon. I need to be there a little early to help with the set-up and registering teams.

EDIT!!!!
The psych sheet has been posted here. The meet should run until about 3:30 or so. With a stop for food that should put us home at about 7:30. It is a big day.

Please pack plenty of snacks, water, towells, warm dry clothes, etc. to help keep you comfortable. It may be beneficial to take along a compact folding chair as there is not much seating on deck for the athletes.

It is a fun fast meet if we are prepared to go fast. I am looking forward to a fun day.

Monday Notes, Thursday's Meet

Our Meet for Thursday has been moved up to 6:00 pm instead of 6:30 pm. The bus will be leaving our pool at 4:20 pm.

From this Friday we are three weeks to Conference and five weeks to State. The number of hard practices are coming to an end. We need to make sure that we are staying vigilent, making sure that we are practicing the way we want to race.

The girls tapering for conference will start their taper in the next week and a half to two weeks and will be done with mornings next week Friday. The girls tapering for state will be about two weeks behind that.

It is shaping up to be a fun end of the season if we continue to do the little things well.

For the swimmers qualified for the MISCA Meet next weekend...we will be leaving on Saturday morning and returning Saturday night. The intitial idea was to spend the night Friday night but due to cost and our already busy week we decided to just go for the meet on the day.

Todd Ritter has some hotel information for parents for the state meet. The girls that are qualified will be staying together with the coaches in a seperate hotel. More specifics are on the way for the state meet weekend.

Don't Stop Believin'

Monday Meeting Info

Tommorows meet is at home against Northview. Be on deck by 5:15.

Thursdays meet is the re-scheduled Unity Christian meet instead of next Tuesday. Be on deck at 5:15.

We have three meets left to make MISCA cuts and to figure out how our lineups will look for our BC and HC meets. We are going to be trying some new things to hopefully squeek out a couple of extra points. I really want us to focus on swimming great on relays and enjoying racing over the next couple of weeks. This Friday marks four weeks to conference and six weeks to state. We need to continue to prepare for these key meets.

Training has been going great and I am excited to continue seeing great swimming and diving!

Don't stop believin'
