Championship Season Begins on Monday!

Hi Team!

Check out Coach K as an Oompa Loompa! I especially like his orange face and green hair!  This year's Spirit Invite was so much fun!  The whole team did a fantastic job dressing up as the cast from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  There were lots of fast swims, too!  We took 3rd place behind Neenah and North.

Monday night is the official start of Championship Season!  On Monday all of the JV swimmers will compete at Neenah High School. The meet starts at 5 pm.  In order for us to get over to NHS for the 3:30 warm ups, the Kimberly girls will be released at 2:20, and the West girls will be released at 2:35. The bus will leave West pool at 3:00.  JV Conference is always a fun meet!!  The girls got to choose their individual events, so they will swim exactly what they want to swim at their last meet.  Awards will be given for 1st-8th place for each event.

The Varsity shifts into Championship Season training this week.  We are done with weight room training and morning practices.  The Varsity will practice with Coach K on Monday afternoon, and then they are invited to come over to Neenah to cheer on the JV.  Practice will go until 5:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  On Thursday and Friday the Varsity has the option of coming from 8-9:30, or 9-10:30 because both schools have the day off.

On Tuesday, we will have a whole-team Captain's practice from 3:45-5:30.  This will be the last time the entire team will be together until the banquet on November 20th.  The practice will consist of fun/goofy relays, so make sure you bring your suit, goggles, and a cap.  All JV athletes will need to turn in their team parkas on Tuesday.

Next Saturday, October 29th, is Varsity Conference.  This year's meet is at North High School, so the girls will need to get themselves to the meet on their own.  All Varsity swimmers will need to be at North High School at 9:00 am for 9:25 warm-ups.  Varsity Conference starts at 10:30 am.

I hope to see a big bunch of you on Monday and Saturday!  Come out and cheer on all of our fabulous AW-K swimmers!

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki
