Alumni News
Blackcat Hall of Famer Keith Hill ('92) is the 2021 United States Masters Swimming 45-49 200 meter Butterfly National Champion! Hill held off the top seed to win the title yesterday by just .27!
Going into today's final session, Keith has earned medals each time he's hit the water. He and his teammates from New Albany, Ohio won the 200 medley relay and are in 4th place in team standings.
We're hoping Keith and many of our alumni can join us for this year's Blue/Gold/Alumni meet on Saturday, October 23rd (9:00 warm-up, 10:00 start) as we kick off the 2021-22 season.

Junior High
We had a short athlete/parent meeting last week for our junior high program. Full practices officially begin on Monday, October 18th. We'll run some shorter practices this week, so pay close attention to the schedule below! Also, make sure athletes are "green" in RankOne, meaning all paperwork (physical, medical history, etc.) is up to date!
Note: Junior high athletes who are in a sport - remember that you are committed to that sport! Keep going to your practices and giving all you've got to your coaches and teammates! Swimming will be here after football, volleyball, cross country, etc. Take care of business and finish what you started!
If you know 7th & 8th graders who would like to swim/dive for the Panthers this year, but missed out on the meeting, please share our sportsYou code (below) with them so they'll be able to get in touch with us ASAP:

Grades
I'll be getting together with any athlete who didn't pass all classes in the first six week grading period.
Since the Blue/Gold/Alumni meet is an exhibition (scrimmage/practice), eligibility is not an issue for that date. However, anyone with a failing grade on their report card will not regain eligibility unless they're passing all classes at the next progress report date.
If we're striving for A's & B's in ALL classes, we should NEVER be worried about JUST passing, should we?
Want to be an Academic All-American someday? Start getting high A's NOW! Seniors can earn Academic A-A honors based on their first seven (7) semesters of high school work, so get busy on your school work so you can earn that special plaque. We've had three (3) in just the last four years!

This Week
Although students have the day off Monday, many are in town!
Friday, high school athletes agreed on a morning workout that should produce the best practice turnout. If weather puts a damper on that plan, I'll be at the pool in the afternoon with Mrs. Button for diving practice, so that will serve as a make-up for the swim practice if schedules permit.
Junior high athletes should feel free to join us for either time.
