Thursday night was our make up meet with Madison Memorial and Janesville Craig at Craig.
I always believe that we need to move our men around in the line-up to prevent staleness and plateau effect. The hope is for our swimmers to understand that this is an opportunity to find out they might find out they are better at other events. Example: Kia Wong becoming a very good backstroke swimmer and Kana becoming a solid breaststroke swimmer.
Though we lost to Craig Thursday night, I believe we learned a lot about ourselves and this will have great benefits for us in February.
