COACH’S CORNER
SINGLE AGE STATE MEET RECAP
Wave had 23 amazing swimmers participate in the Single Age State meet last weekend in Racine, WI–our largest number of swimmers to ever attend this meet! We had AMAZING swims and even better sportsmanship! We finished 9th, and many teams that placed above us are twice our size! Way to go, Wave, we really brought the motivation to Single Age State!
