Coaches Note 7-6-2010
The summer championship season is fast approaching. This weekend's meet in Wenatchee is the final meet before Senior Sectionals and Long Course Champs. That's funny, didn't summer just begin? Has it even begun, what with all of the clouds and rain?
There are just a few items for the week, then we'll let you get back to hoping and praying for some REAL summer weather.
Starlight Invitational--July 9-11: Wenatchee, WA
We have 30+ swimmers heading over this weekend to Wenatchee. As far as we know, there is no timeline available at this time, so check back tomorrow or Thursday before you leave.
2nd Annual Snake River Challenge!
We had one swimmer, Nate Endebrock head down to the 2nd open water race ever in IES. He got 2nd palce! Great work Nate!
IES Long Course Championships--July 30 - Aug 1: Spokane, WA
Please sign up for our summer champs meet ASAP!!! Our friends at SAS are hosting this year's Inland Empire Long Course Championships down at Witter Pool; it's a great opportunity for high-end competition right in our backyard. We HIGHLY encourage all swimmers who are qualified to attend this meet. It's at a great location, it's the one Team Championship of the season, and it's going to be a lot of fun!
