The Josten's rep will be in next week Tuesday, April 28 before school (starting at 7:15 am) to size people for State Champ rings. She will have order forms available at that time as well. The cost will be around $150. There is a picture of what our rings and design will look like in the high school office (ask Connie where it is and she will point you to it). You are not required to get a state champ ring but we are making them available for those that want to purchase them. If you are planning on buying a ring, please be there Tuesday before school to make sure that you get sized properly and get an order form.
We have been invited to participate in the Saturday Tulip Time parade. I think that it will be a fun experience. We need to have something to ride on (either a couple of cool cars or a haywagon or something fun). If you have an idea and the means to make it happen let me know. I will have more specifics as far as time frame, etc. later.
The summer age group calendar is posted on the pool's webpage. I am hoping that we will have a guest coach that will be able to start working with all the varsity swimmers on Tuesday, May 26. I will not be able to coach you until Wednesday, June 3. If you have the means...you should be swimming this summer as much as possible.

State Champ T-Shirts
The school store has State Champion T-Shirts available for sale. They are black shirts with a very sharp design. The shirts are $10 each and are available to anyone that would like to buy one. You can stop by the high school office during normal school hours to pick one up. I also have a couple of each size at the pool office. They are available in sizes Small through 2XL. All proceeds will benefit the Hamilton Swimming and Diving programs. Thank you to Mr. Stoel for putting the order together.

Pizza, DVD's, etc.
I am looking forward to some Fricano's Pizza tonight. I'll see everyone there at 6:30 pm.
If you would like to buy a DVD of the pep assembly and the video that was shown during the pep assembly, you must stop by Mr. Behnke's room and drop off $4 by this Thursday, March 26.
Today, I took five of our state team around to all of our elementary schools. What a great experience this was. I think our guys had as much fun as the elementary kids did. It was great to see how much the kids looked up to our boys. I hope that what we said and how we carried ourselves this past season has a positive impact on the kids that we saw today.

Pictures and Video for slide show
WOW!!!! I still don't think that it has fully sunk in what our boys have accomplished.
If you have pictures please send them to Mark Behnke at mbehnke@hamiltonschools.us . If you have video please burn to disk and bring it to the high school as soon as possible Monday morning. If you do not have the ability to put the video on disk, they have the ability at the high school to transfer it to digital media so feel free to bring in videos on tape as well. I will be working with Mark to put together a slide show for Tuesday morning. The more we have the better it will be.
We'll see you at the high school for the assembly at 8:45 am and at the middle school cafeteria for our celebration at 6:30 pm.
Have a great rest of the weekend.

More State Meet Info
If there is anyone willing to head up the feeding of the troops for Thursday before we head to Rochester Hills please contact me.
Each qualified athlete will be given $30 for food. I will be required to turn in receipts for each of the $30 that is given out. On Saturday evening I will be asking the boys for either $30 in receipts or receipts and money that total $30. We will probably go to the Olive Garden on Friday night and we will go out for whatever the guys want on Saturday night. Breakfast will be provided at the hotel. Each of the swimmers will need snacks for during the meet Friday and Saturday. I will accept receipts towards the $30 from snack foods that are purchased ahead of time as well.
Diving Regionals are Tuesday starting at 5:00 pm at East Grand Rapids High School. I will be attending along with any other swimmers and parents that are interested in attending. The swimmers will be practicing 2:30 - 4:00ish.
The pasta party for Wednesday night has been moved to the Breuker's. I don't think the guys were all to excited to cram into our house. A good problem to have when all the state qualifiers don't fit into the coaches house!!! We currently have 14 individual qualifiers with a chance for all 4 of our divers to make it through regionals. We will be heading over to the Breuker's at about 4:30 or 4:45 pm. We'll be done by 8:30 or so depending on if they decide to watch or movie or not.
I will post more info as it becomes available and relevant.
Thanks
