Weekend Summary and Practice Schedule Week of December 18th


When You Believe You Can,
YOU WILL!!!!


Friday the TIDE beat Sun Prairie for the 1st time ever 93-77.

Total Team Effort. It was a tough week with illness, with as much as 1/3 of the team missing from school do to illness and still missing a key member this weekend. But we did what a great team does, pulled together, supported each other and over came.

Even though the meet did go perfect, being unexpectedly swept in the 50 free, and being tied at the break 31-31. We over came adversity as a team.

The TIDE won 8 0f 11 events, winning all three relays. Though we were swept in the 50, we made them earn it, by swimming season best times.

On Friday the TIDE split its meets. Losing to Middleton and beating Craig.
