Short Course Champs Recap

In an amazing rollercoaster of a weekend, the Waves ended the meet with 684 points, and tied for 3^rd with SAS.  Every point counted, every touch out (we had 3 by .01 on the last night,) everyone who was there cheering on our kids made the difference.  We scored 50 more points at this meet than we did last year, swam 159 best times, many new team records, qualified several kids to Age Group Sectionals and Zones for the first time, and one new swimmer qualified for Senior Sectionals.  Thanks all who were there cheering, driving through the snow, and hanging in there for a long weekend of racing.  Let’s take a breather, and get ready for the next few weeks of team activity.
