All Kinds of Good Stuff!

Hi Team!

Holy cow!  What a week, huh?  We swam all over the Fox Valley this past week: Neenah, Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac!  First up was the Neenah Invite, which was our only whole-team invite for the season.  I love this meet because everybody gets to come and swim.   It also gives us a chance to see where we are in relation to the rest of the FVA (plus some teams from our Sectional).

The varsity ended up coming in 4th place, one point behind DePere.  I was thrilled with what I saw in the water that day.  There were so many excellent swims that day!  In terms of the the FVA, we came in behind Neenah (first place), and North (second place).

The following Tuesday we headed down to the 20th Street YMCA in Oshkosh to take on Oshkosh North-Lourdes.  We had 7 athletes out sick at that meet, and we still managed to win every event except the 500 free and diving.  We also won the battle for the giant pear!  Thanks to all of you, we donated hundreds of items to the 2nd Annual Halee Fritsch Food Drive.  All of the items were taken to Father Carr's Place To Be in Oshkosh, where I know it will be put to good use.  Way to go, team! Come see the giant pear the next time you're at the pool!

This past Saturday the Varsity traveled down to Fond du Lac for the Fondy Invite.  The girls really stepped up and had some fantastic swims.  There was tons of talent at that Invite.  We swam against teams from the Milwaukee and Madison areas, as well as Bay Port, Fond du Lac, and Oshkosh North-Lourdes.  I am very proud of everyone, especially those who competed when they were sick. 

Tonight we are back home to swim against Oshkosh West!  The meet starts at 5:30.  Come on out and cheer us on!

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki
