Our team really did a great job of stepping it up and contributing to the overall success at this meet.  Over 2/3 of our swimmers got a second chance to race in finals which is excellent. We are very proud of our athlete and the commitment they have made to swimming and Dads Club. Thank you for a great season.  Thanks to all the parents that volunteered.
