Hi Team!
What an amazing, fabulous week for AW-K Swimming & Diving! I couldn't be more proud of all we accomplished in and out of the water this week! Friday night's Terror Relays went off without a hitch--thanks to each and every single member of the AW-K team--both swimmers and parents! The girls did a fantastic job competing hard for AW-K--we took 4th place with 216 points, (tied with Wisconsin Rapids), behind Neenah (292 points), Stevens Point (240 points), and Appleton North (234 points).
We swam 10 events and made the podium in every single event! Wow!!!! Congratulations, ladies! I couldn't be happier or more proud!
The other super stars of the night were are JV ladies! I've said it before, and I will say it again--we have the best JV in the FVA! Everywhere I turned there were JV ladies helping out--timing, running, helping with set up and take down for the coaches and officials meal.
Most of the JV stayed and helped clean up after the meet, even though I said they could go home. We had the meet completely cleaned up and the pool put back in order in less than a 1/2 hour. It was amazing!
I can't forget to thank all of our dedicated and hard-working parents--some of whom (like the ones working concessions) I didn't see at all, but I know were doing a big job away from the pool. Whether you timed, baked, cooked, sold concessions, helped clean up, or just came and cheered for the girls, we are SO thankful for your support!!!
In the battle of the best parents in the FVA, I know we'd win, hands down!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting our program!!
Saturday morning the varsity headed over to Appleton East to compete in the Patriot Pentathlon.
It was an early morning after a late night, but our AW-K swimmers were super stars, once again. At the Pentathlon, each swimmer does a 50 of each stroke and a 100 IM. Prizes are awarded for the top 8 in each event in each grade. The top 3 athletes in each grade were recognized on Saturday. Here are our top 3 finishers:

Congratulations to all who competed for AW-K this weekend! I couldn't be more proud of you!
This week we shift into our final practice schedule for the season. The Varsity team will begin 2-a-day practices this week, beginning on Monday. Please plan on being on deck at 5:30 am. We get in the water right at 5:45.
We will also be in the weight room on Monday and Thursday this week. Please bring your workout clothes and gym shoes. We have a bye week this week, so we do not have a dual meet on Tuesday.
We do, however, have our team pictures on Tuesday, so don't forget to bring your team suit!! Pictures will take place at the beginning of practice. Order forms will go home on Monday after practice. Even though we do not have a meet, we do have a team meal on Monday after practice.
Whew! I think that wraps up the week and gets us ready for this coming week! I'm so proud to be your coach!
With AW-K Pride,
Coach Vicki
