I'm a BIG believer in 2-a-day training!  Do your best to take advantage of the remaining opportunities.

Our next high school meet is on Saturday, January 9.  We're hosting Katy's St. John XXIII.  Two private middle schools from the Houston area have expressed interest in scheduling a dual with our junior high that day.  If neither follows through, we'll host a time trial for our kids.

We're keeping January 30 open for a possible Blue/Gold BCJH Intrasquad meet.

Our most likely scenario for the Region VII-5A Championship meet would be to have our girls travel to San Antonio on Wednesday, the 3rd.  They'd compete/return on Thursday, the 4th.  The boys would travel to S.A. on the 4th, and compete/return on Friday, the 5th.
