Parents,

I have been involved in summer league swimming since 1986. We started an hour early and it was the hottest meet I have been to. Well done team

One of the most gracious teams we have ever swum against. Coaches, officials, parents all were great

Final Score Hiddenbrook 245 - SHRA 174

Record Setting Swims: None today

Bob the Gnome Luca Cassara: Monster swims in his breast and fly, dropping time in both both races

Things that went well today:

• Time Drops - In 100 degree temperatures and a hot pool you would not expect much, but we still pulled out some. 31/120
• Relay upsets 9/10 girls, 11/12 boys, 13-14 boys (huge anchor swims by Lexi Tullia, Avery Sitton and JP White)

Things we need to work on:

• The tattoo wrappers, SHRA, had several trash cans positioned around the team area and a number of kids just threw things on the ground. Coach Colin wanted to emphasize us being better stewards when we are traveling.
• DQs. Oh Lawd, there were way too many!!!

Second Place Ribbons

SHRA ran out of second place ribbons today, Becca and Kelly have a solution, it may take a day or two longer but they will get it fixed

Herndon Olympics

• When I get the timeline for the meet from organizers I will send it out ASAP

Quote of the day -

From SHRA’s Assistant Coach “There is something in the air today”

Coach Colin’s retort “Yeah, it's the heat!”

What the heck situation! If your team fails to put a swimmer on the meet sheet, you can’t run to the table and try to put them in last minute.
