Goodbye J-Term



At last the day has come, no more J-Term. Our month long break of not having classes is over and we start back up again on Monday. It has been a lot of fun over the last few weeks just having practice and meets on the weekends. The swim team finished out our break with another trip to Feed My Starving Children here in the cities. The Track and Field team joined us this time too. We made over 12,300 meals... that's enough meals to feed 34 children for a whole year. We learned that our food would be making the journey to Haiti next week. It was another great experience for our team to help out those in need while having fun too.


This weekend is our last dual against UM Morris and the St. Kates Invite on Saturday will wrap up a busy weekend. Hope everyone is staying warm!

Greetings from the Sunshine State!!

Hello Minnesota! I hope you are not completely frozen yet. We have been in Florida for a week now and have been enjoying our time here. We have been working very hard in the pool with two-a-days and enjoying the sunshine between practices. Trust me, its been rough with days in the lower 70's and upper 60's. Shana and Nicole have been very in tune with our training adjusting workouts to help us in the best way possible.

On Thursday (Happy Birthday Bridget!) we ventured to Key West to go para-sailing. It was so much fun to take the day off and enjoy the beautiful ocean from way up in the air. Below is a picture of what it looked like from the boat.




We have a few days left here on our training trip and I am certain we will make the best of them. We come back to frozen Minnesota on Tuesday and then we are off again to St. Thomas that weekend.

More pictures to come soon!
