State Meet: The wagering has started, let’s have fun and raise money for our own Jim Young Fund.
- 1 ticket = $5, 5 Tickets = $20
- Choose a coach (each coach will have a different ticket color).
- Write the State Meet event that you want that coach to swim and your name.
- Event with the most votes will win!

This event will start at the Christmas Party on Dec. 16 and run until the Milford Meltdown. Results will be announced after the Milford Meltdown.
From the Coaches:
Kris:
Jim: The HVPF, PM coordinator, asked if we could make sure our swimmers were aware that the facility closes at 8:30. They are okay with us taking a quick shower after practice, and don’t mind staying a little later, but asked if we could be as quick as possible, once past 8:30. As coaches, we’ll do our best to end the practice by 8:20.
Maria: For those swimming Brighton Sunday, come get in a meet prep workout Saturday morning!
Melissa:
Dianne: Should be a good week. We will continue working race pace on Friday and focus on starts and turns in prep for the Brighton Meet on Sunday.
On a Personal Note: With 12 weeks until State Meet, we hope to continue seeing returning, and of course new, face’s at practices. State Meet’s in our backyard again this year let’s show the state our #BAN!
12 Weeks to State
16 Weeks till Nationals
