Team Update -Parents make sure swimmers read
Congratulations HAST swimmers and Parents.
HAST has moved up in the team ranking, making it into the top 800 WOW.
National rank - (791)
NI-District Rank - (13)
Team Score - (47,721)
Very nice swimmers, your hard work in practice and meets has been recognized on the national scene and NI district. Also, nice job parents for all your efforts to get your swimmers to the pool, I know the weather has not been so nice but it is very important for the swimmers to get to the pool daily and on time.
One last time Congratulations everyone.
Now lets get to the point. This is not the time to look at past, this is the time to look forward to the goals that have been set by swimmers, team, coach's, & parents. We just got through the week off and now the Championship meets are getting closer. Being at practice is imparitive to the swimmer's success at these meets. This is the time when we fine tune your hard work. Monday I would like to sit down with the swimmers for a pre-Championship meeting. This will happen at the end of practice, the swimmers can not afford to loose any pool time.
Up Coming meets,
MCDR Championships/Qualifier (Webster)
WSSC INV (Churchville) last chance to get Gold times & SPEEDO Championships (Boston)
NI-Gold Team Championships (Buffalo)
Eastern Zones - You must be selected or be 1 of the top 2 in NI District - to make this meet.
HAST APRIL FOOL'S Meet
WOW!! This seems like allot but it really isn't, this is the same as any distance race. You attack each leg/week with a goal. Working to a goal is just like climbing a ladder, each step can be tough and everyone climbs the ladder differently. So your focus is your ladder, you have control of how stable and firmly planted the ladder stands. Oh, firmly planted is referring to your practices that you have put in. Over the winter you have been building your foundation for your ladder, good job, and lets see how high you can climb.
In practice I want the swimmers to continue to wear the tights and be to the pool on time ready to swim. For the swimmers that don't know me during this part of the season, my temper gets somewhat short. This is just a warning. If you miss practices be prepared I will be talking to you about that will effect your ladder.
Have a good weekend,
Coach Snow
