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?

Tentative plan for this week:

Monday

8th period dry-land (even day)
After school swim/dive until 5:00

Tuesday

Alvin ISD Diving Invite Entries Due
8th period dry-land (odd day)
After school swim/dive until 5:00

Notes & Schedule for This Week

I ran into Mrs. Bell yesterday at the H.E.B.  She's recovering from her surgery and was very, very pleased to hear that our team is growing and improving.

Entries for the Lamar CISD Invite are due by noon on Monday.  To make that deadline, I'll need to put them together today.

Divers, please have your dive sheets filled out for a six (6) dive meet (with reverse as the voluntary/required dive) Monday.  We'll need to fax those Tuesday.

If you have one (1) individual event you'd really like to swim, let me know ASAP.

Also let me know ASAP if you're unable to attend.  We'll need to send out a correction to the swim/dive release.

Friday Plan?

Forgot to discuss that today between dry-land and swim.

Here's an idear:

If I can shoot some underwater video Wednesday and/or Thursday, let's stay on campus for 8th period Friday and watch in B228.

Veterans told me how to make video play better on computer last year.  You'll have to remind me Friday.

After pep rally, you can get to the pool either in your personal vehicles or on the bus, a.k.a. Lucky 13.

Plunge for Distance

The Plunge for Distance was an Olympic event in 1904.  More here

via The Washington Post

Strong leg drives and arm swings, plus clean entries and great streamlines resulted in some excellent distances today.  Faith V (in another group) was the distance champ.
