January 12th Update: Meet weekend, Upcoming important dates, and more!
Good afternoon Tritons,
I hope you are all having a good weekend! We had a couple of fantastic meets yesterday and today, and some important dates to remember that I wanted to share.
First off, congratulations to all of our competing swimmers this weekend - across the 2 meets, we saw 31 more personal best swims. At the Friday Harbor meet, each of our 8 swimmers had earned at least one personal best, even though the starts were all in-water. With our distance meet, we saw several swimmers try their first distance event (including the 1000 and 1650) and we had 17 personal bests made right at home. We also saw a 2013 team record in the 400 Freestyle Relay be broken by Landon Taylor, Michael Veltri, Weston Weishaar, and Dima Lisitskiy!
There are some important dates upcoming that I want to highlight as we draw closer to Y State and beyond:
- Reminder that the deadline to order team T Shirts and hoodies is today, January 12th!
- Please select local pickup at checkout - I will drive over to pick our orders up and be the delivery guy
- We will have another round of orders in the near future, just wanted to have this round in case anyone would like to get theirs before Y State
- Registration deadline for the 2025 PN East February invitational is January 16th
- A new pool and new challengers, this takes place at Hazen High School Pool in Renton
- Our Last Chance Qualifier meet will be uploaded sometime this week. Just need to finish up some things for the last home meet and set up the new list of events. I have the deadline scheduled for February 3rd!
- If you are attending Y State, please sign the concussion awareness form and turn them into me as soon as possible!
The following practice days have been changed:
- We will have have practice on MLKjr day (Monday, January 20th)
- This will be a combined practice from 5:00pm - 6:00pm
- We will NOT have practice on the day before Y State (Friday, January 24th) for travel and rest
I figure this shift makes the most sense now that we know the date of Y State, as I created the practice schedule back in July before it was sent out.
All this information is on our event page (linked here) and will be updated as we move along in the month.
See you all soon!
