Dual vs. Appleton East, Terror Relay Volunteers, and lots of Thank Yous!

Hi Team!

How fun was yesterday's meet against Appleton East?!? I think it's safe to say that the meet was a huge success!  I can't tell you how awesome it was to see all those AW-K parkas spanning the entire length of the pool for the Star Spangled Banner!  We have definitely joined the ranks of the large teams in the FVA!

The girls were fantastic, weren't they?  There were so many great swims, and I loved the girls' energy on deck.  Nothing makes me happier than seeing the girls cheer for each other.  Here's a breakdown of the meet:

JV:

Appleton West-Kimberly: 130
Appleton East: 12

Varsity:

Appleton West-Kimberly: 126
Appleton East: 56

Our JV won every single event, and our Varsity won all but the 200 IM, 100 Back, and Diving.  Way to go, ladies!!  I am beyond proud.  I couldn't ask for a better start to the season!

Looking ahead, on Friday we will host the 34th Annual Terror Relays!  Diving will start at 5:00, and swimming will start at 5:30.  Hosting an Invite is a huge undertaking, and I'd like to thank everyone who has signed up to help out.  Here is the list of volunteers:

I'd also like to thank my parent board who are all donating food for the coach and official meal:  Sandy Bevers, Jennifer & Steve Nunn, Amy Funk, Susan Harper, Kathy Chippeaux, and Jody Karrmann.  You guys really are the BEST!!

While I am on the subject of thank yous, I'd like to recognize a few families who have already gone above and beyond this year:

Erika Blair and Megan Rambo hosted an Olympics watch party at their home a few weeks back.  Thank you so much for having the team over!

Susan, Mike, Meghan, and Amanda Harper hosted a team sleepover, and almost half the team showed up. That's a lot of swimmers sleeping in the basement!  Thank you, Harper family, for opening up your home to the girls!

Finally, we had our first team dinner on Monday night, and the girls LOVED it!  Nothing makes going to practice on Labor Day better than the promise of a yummy team dinner afterwards.  Thank you, Mary Jo Van Grinsven, Amy Hirst, Megan & David Harris, and Sheri del Plaine for the fabulous spread.  Everything was fantastic!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer us on last night--we definitely felt your support!

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki
