Top Ten Awesome Moments from Saturday

 Hi Team!

Holy cow!  Saturday's Conference meet was completely amazing, wasn't it?!?!  I'm still smiling, two days later!  There were so many fantastic moments that made Saturday great!  I thought it would be fun to share a few of them here.  So, without further ado:

Top Ten Awesome Moments from Saturday:

10.  Our school bus arrived early, and our bus driver was super nice!

9.  This photo:
 I love that when I ask for an in-the-water photo, they all hug up and squish in.

8. AW-K lead the way with team spirit and included every single team in their cheers:
7.  Seeing everyone representing AW-K in their new parkas.  The new parkas looked awesome up on the podiums!

6.  Marching out with the captains and seniors and seeing our entire fan base wearing Star Wars masks!  So fun!!!

5. The fact that almost every girl swam a best time (or was right on top of a best time) even though we were untappered, unshaved, and wore our Tuesday suits.

4.  Watching our girls overcome some unexpected obstacles like completely stuffed noses and ripped swimsuits.

3.  The big smiles I saw when the girls discovered they swam a best time.

2.  This final result:

1.  Working together as a team to finish in 4th place in the FVA.  Every single swim mattered.  Every single swim made a difference.  You did it!  TOGETHER.  I'm so proud!

Way to go, ladies!  Saturday's meet was one I will never forget!

On to Sectionals!!

Succeed on Purpose,

Coach Vicki

A Few More Thank Yous



Hi Team,

I've got a few last thank yous to say before we wrap up the season.

Our last team meal was a HUGE success.  The Bevers, Sunke, DeBroux, and Schueppert families served a Mexican feast, and the girls went crazy!  They ate every single bit of the taco meat and pretty much everything else, too.  :)  Way to go, dinner team!  The girls loved your meal!  Thank you so much!

Thursday night Hannah's family hosted the Conference dinner in their home.  It was amazing!  They invited the whole team, and pretty much everyone was able to come.  It was so great to have everybody together to share a meal away from the pool.  Thank you, Wellhouse/Beckwith family! We all love, love, loved the fabulous Victoria's meal!  Thank you for opening up your home to the team. It was a special night for everyone!

I'm so thankful for all the amazing families who support our team!

Coach Vicki
