St. Kate's Invite and Senior Night!

This was a great weekend for the St. Kate's Swimming and Diving team! Friday, St. Kate's hosted our senior night. People took turns speaking about each of the seniors. As a senior myself, I was really grateful for the kind words the girls spoke. We all went on to have really solid swims for the rest of the weekend. It was a long weekend but everyone was having so much fun. There were about 18 season bests and 4 career bests. We are now entering our last week of break before we start taper. Everyone is looking really good in the water and the attitudes are still great! I am looking forward to see what the rest of the season brings. This weekend we have the MAC Invite. Good luck ladies!!

Skating to pass the time!

Swimming is not the only thing us swimmers do at St. Kates! Occasionally we trade in our suits for some skates and hit the ice for some winter fun. A couple of the girls went on a little skating adventure at our local skating rink and had a blast. Now that the temperature is warm enough to be outside for more than five minutes, it was nice to get outside and enjoy the weather. There were no spills or falls so everyone had a great time. This is something, I think, we will do more often.

Training Trip-Florida 2009

Happy New Year!! The team just got back from our training trip to the Florida Keys. It was a blast. This was one of the best years for the training trip. We had great weather, the place we stayed at was great and the pool was amazing for training. It was a lot of work, but we mixed in a little fun in there. While we were down there we had the opportunity to go snorkeling which was very fun. Some girls saw sting rays and barracudas! There was a nice team dinner and we spent a lot of time at the pool and beach tanning which was wonderful. Also, some girls had the opportunity to go to the Everglades to an Alligator Farm. This was my personal favorite because we got to watch the alligators feed, go on a fan boat in the Everglades and we got to hold snakes! Overall it was a great trip. For the next month we will be training really hard back in the frozen tundra to get ready for the MIAC Championships. Thank you to all the girls for their great attitudes and work ethic!
