Weekly Update - September 28, 2014

Hello!

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens. Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst…a spark that creates extraordinary results.” – Unknown 

I hope everyone had a GREAT and well deserved 4-day weekend! It should have been a great time to relax and refresh for this last month or so of high school swimming and diving. Despite both losses at Boulder Creek on Thursday, everyone still had great swims in what may have been their “off” events. I have a few things to remind you of for the upcoming week. 

Brophy/Xavier Invite on Saturday, October 4^th:

First of all, wishing our divers the best of luck, who will be competing in the invite on Friday!

For swimmers, please arrive at school on Saturday at 6:25 am. It will be warm again on Saturday so please bring lots of water, snacks, sunscreen, and a chair. You can bring a fast suit to wear but remember to bring your team suit to warm up in. The coaches saw some great racing at the Wolves invite, so let’s continue to keep in that race mode! We should be done by mid afternoon.  

The following is a list of those participating on Saturday:

Mitch  Steele Noah James Ethan Ryan K Ryan N Aaron Mike Blake Hunter Jake Alex Sam B Danny T Scott Cole Sam F.

Sam F. Ally Gabby Zoe R. Isabel Hayley Megan Jess Kelsie Samara Lexi R. Grace L. Paris Zoe H. Kennedy Grace R. Faith Katrina

Parents:  bleachers are limited with no shade. $5 admission fee. Also, we will need a few parents to help volunteer with timing. I have created a sign up table below, by hour, so that one parent doesn’t have to sit there the entire meet. Please hit “reply all” to this email so that everyone can see the current sign up sheet. Thank you for all your help and support!
