I know this season has seen it's challenges, and I have been as frustrated or more frustrated than anyone on this team.
I want to start by pointing out the irony in my first blog about the renovations at GSU. Although it might be ironic, I'm still having trouble laughing about how much adversity the girls have already been through.
Most importantly I want to thank the parents who have gone through some tough schedule changes and driving challenges this season. Also, for the girls that have gone through the same schedule on top of their class loads (now you see why I dropped my honors classes in high school - okay, bad example).
I am anticipating some of the greatest time drops our team has ever seen in the coming month(s). I know that the training has been an issue, not only for our varsity, but for the technique of our new swimmers. In the next month, we only have 2 dual meets and 1 invitational and that means by the time T.F. South sees us at the end of October, and the rest of our Sectional sees us in mid November, we will have a lot of surprises for them.
We have already accomplished a lot of things this season:
1st place at the Bremen Invite
6th place at the Fenwick F/S Invite
2nd place at the Riverside-Brookfield Invite
7th place at the Fenwick Varsity Invite
Our new swimmers are also posting times that are among the top 10 on the team in multiple events. This shouldn't have happened until the end of the season, and it gives me great hope of things to come.
