1st our 6 year old pool decided to not work properly and we could not swim in it Tuesday or Wednesday. The Varsity Practice at the YMCA Wednesday and finally the whole team practice Thursday night. It was also the 1st week of two a days.
Madison LaFollette Dual Meet.
Lets just say Friday, a Win is a Win and I will take it. I truly believe we were tired and just out of sync. But we fought through the adversity and pulled out the win for both our Varsity and J.V. teams.
Our J.V. and #3 varsity swimmers really swam well and because we really train the kids to good all around swimmers, our depth and ability to swim well in the skill events made the difference. The ladies swept the 200 IM, out scored them in the 100 free, 500 Free,100 back 100 Breast, and 400 free relay. While we just hung on close enough in the other races so we could win the meet in the last event.
Final Scores:
Varsity 85.5 LaFollette 80.5
J.V. 84 LaFollette 76
Notable Swims:
