Cheering on our Sister Sport – Cross Country, Halloween Practice, and the Northfield Quad Meet!!!

On Saturday October 29^th, the team headed over to the Como golf course to cheer on our sister sport – cross country for their MIAC championship meet!! It was a gorgeous day – sunshine, but not too cold or too hot and we had our signs at the ready! We cheered loud for them at multiple points around the course and then had treats for them at the end!! It was fun to see our sister sport do so well!!!

To finish off the weekend/start off a new week we had our annual Halloween costume contest practice on Monday, October 31^st!!! :D :D We had some GREAT costumes which included Minons, Thomas the Train, Spongebob’s plankton and his wife, an M&M, a panda bear, cowgirls, water, a surgeon, and a lifeguard. Doing something a little different this year – the team split into groups and did a scavenger hunt around the campus!! We had to race against each other, but also complete each task at the different sites correctly! It was a lot of fun and a great way to show that Halloween spirit!!!

Heading into November the team traveled to Northfield where we swam against St. Olaf, Carleton, and Minnesota State University – Moorhead. All really good teams we geared up for some great competition. Our diver, Sarah Moody led the team in winning both the one and three meter diving events. She also made an NCAA qualifying score for the 3-meter board! Stephanie Jurusik and Bridget Perkins also had great swims with some second place finishes in their events: the 100 back, 100 I.M., and 50 butterfly.
