STATE DIVER and STATE UPDATE

Congratulations to Kendall Valsvik on qualifying for the Diving State Championships!!  Our divers had a great season, keep up the hard work in the off season and we’ll make another run at State next year.
Tomorrow the Pinnacle Administration has asked us to have the athletes excused at 9:12 am instead of 9:30 am as planned.  It is a advisement day so all classes are shortened.  Please meet outside of Marty’s office and try to keep the noise down to a dull roar while we wait for our bus.  Prior to getting on the bus I will be handing out badges for all athletes that must be worn at all times at the meet.  Bring your badge with you to the blocks or the diving boards and leave it with whatever clothes you bring up there with you.  DO NOT LOSE YOUR BADGE!  They will ask you to leave the deck and you may not be able to get to you event on time.  Please bring warm clothes to help stay warm when not competing.  There will be a cooler of water, please stay hydrated.  The meet, once under way, will take around 3-4 hours.  Please make sure you have something to snack on during that time.  Please leave all jewelry at home, we do not want to have to bust out the tool kit to help take something off at the state meet.  Also please take your time shaving tonight.
Let’s be ready to finish out our season with some great performances!

TEAM PHOTOS FROM THE SEASON
 
I have received several emails regarding the photos captured throughout the season.  There will be a slideshow of a compilation of the photos playing at the banquet.  There will also be a Senior Slideshow as well.  If you are interested in having the photos from slideshow itself, we will have order forms at the banquet if you would like to order a DVD.   The cost is $5 per DVD.   They will be sent out for copying after the banquet and we have a complete count as to how many need to be made.  It will take anywhere from 3-4 weeks. 
 
Thank you!
