Weekly Update 10/5/2014

Good afternoon! 


"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." --Michael Jordan

Yesterday was a very successful day for Pinnacle! Girls came in 2nd to Xavier and the boys came in 6th! Several best times were achieved and most importantly, there was great racing! And that is what this sport is all about. A special shout out to the boys on the 200 and 400 free relays who dropped 3 seconds in both races and received considerations times! This is the best they have done during this part of the season.  There are still quite a few swimmers that are so close to consideration/automatic times…we have two more opportunities to do so at Districts and the Last Chance meet. Please talk with me, Jenny or Kyu about how we can help you achieve your goals, as well as meet our team goals of being a top 5 team in the state. I am so proud of all of you and the hard work that you put in, along with being such smart students. Don’t ever forget that you have a team, a pioneer family that cares about you and supports you!  

Reminders:

MANDATORY PRACTICE, Wednesday

Our Saguaro dual meet is on Thursday at Chaparral Pool. Remember that this will be more like an intersquad meet, since their team is so small. Also, don’t forget to email me an event or two that you would like to do. This is a great opportunity to try something new!

NO PRACTICE this Friday. I’ll be at the homecoming game, hope to see you there!

T-SHIRT PARTY:
This will be a fun, annual, team-bonding event! The captains and coaches would like everyone to attend!
When: October 12th
Time: 12-3 pm
Where: Captain Sam Fazio’s house
6702 E Running Deer Trail (off Dynamite and Scottsdale Rd., Saguaro Highlands gated community, gate code 5555)
**Please bring $5 to practice on Wednesday for the t-shirts and give it to one of the captains!**

Lastly, the last dual meet (Oct 23) is going to be another theme meet. The meet will be Marvel superheroes vs DC superheroes. Notre Dame will be Marvel characters and we will be DC characters (Superman, Batman, Green lantern, Wonder Woman, etc.). I am letting you know now so that you can plan for a costume! While you are at the t-shirt party this Sunday, you can brainstorm, as a team, creative ways to be the DC superheroes. This week, at school, is the homecoming spirit week and Thursday is superhero day, so you could get stuff to wear for both days!  You are all superheroes in my book :)
