Two of my favorite things about NCAA's:

1) Sam Kendricks* on the mic, and

2) starters who refuse to begin a race until you could hear a pin drop!



*one of Bobby's biggest fans

Academics Reminders

First, any athlete that does not pass all classes for this six week grading period will not regain eligibility in time for the high school district championships (or middle school championships) in January.

If you have not been striving for A's and B's in all your classes, it's high time you started doing so!


Next, juniors and seniors with excellent GPA's will apply for the TISCA Academic All-State.  Juniors will use their five (5) semester GPA, while seniors will use their seven (7) semester GPA.  Last year's form is here.

Use it as a guide so you understand the academic and paperwork requirements.  Once the new form is posted, I'll pass along that link.  Please make certain you get all paperwork in well before the April 1 deadline.

Finally, seniors with excellent GPA's will apply for the NISCA Academic All-America.  Seniors will use their seven (7) semester GPA.  The application portal (closed until January 1) is here.

Links to help you plan your application are working.  Please make certain you get all paperwork in before the March 31 deadline.

Notes & Schedule (Edited 11/6)

First, a quick look back:

Our line-up for the national anthem was very impressive.  Class!

Zane H turned in a lost wallet after the meet.  Integrity!

Everyone contributed to our team scores Friday.  Total Effort!

Even though we had to scratch several individual and relay swims, we had a pretty good showing Friday.

Girls finished 11th with 66 points, boys were 12th with 65 points, and we were 11th overall with 131 combined points.

If you follow college swimming, you may have noticed a couple of shocking scores out of College Station Friday.  The Aggie men defeated UT (158-142), and the Longhorn women downed A&M (151.5-148.5).  Results here

Now, a look ahead:

We'll have a slightly different dry-land routine starting this week.  Watch for a new handout.  Destroy old copies so they don't fall into enemy hands.

Keep sweating, grunting, and getting stronger.

In addition to strength, endurance, and technique; we're going to start working on our race strategies.

Divers are going to get more DD into their lists and clean up positions/entries.  Maybe also start working on a four-step approach?
