Weekend Plans?

Lots of swimming this weekend. On Friday night, the girls travel across Willow Rd. to take on GBS. This should be an outstanding, exciting dual meet. Hope to have a big turnout and see lots of green & gold in the crowd. The meet is at GBS and starts at 5:00pm. Following that, we host the Spartan Sprint Classic on Saturday (10:00 am diving/1:00 pm swimming). We need boys there to time at 12:30! GO SPARTANS!!!

Welcome Back!

Been a long time since I posted, sorry! Between the start of school and the girls season, it's been a little crazy. I moved into a new office that didn't have phone or data connections for the 1st week or so of school. Part of the growing pains of construction! I did get a chance to go the ASCA World Coaches Clinic in Las Vegas last week. It was pretty impressive, seeing all the coaches from around the world and learning some of what they do with their athletes. The funniest thing was walking around with Vlad. It's like traveling with a rock star, EVERYONE knows him! The funny thing is, I don't think they know his last name, he's just Vlad.

1st Meet!

The girls traveled to Stevenson to kick-off the 2008 season. It was a solid meet, with many best or near best times, and featured a LOT of exciting races! Although we lost on all 3 levels, it was a good learning experience for many of the kids in their first meet ever. The Varsity travels to Lyons the week for the Walker family reunion/battle and next week we go across Willow to face GBS on Friday and host the Spartan Sprint Classic on Saturday.

Sectionals!

The IHSA has released it's Sectional sites and assignments for the Girls' season. We will be taking our show on the road, this time staying in Cook County and headed to New Trier. The good news is it is a fast pool that the girls will compete at before Sectionals (Trev Relays). The bad news is, well duh, why are we not at home? Because I'm on the Advisory Committee, people ask me all the time about why GBN doesn't host the meet. My explanation is simple. The people who are making these decisions are the same ones who made bass fishing a sanctioned sport! Here is a link to the assignments.
