The Week Ahead 11/5-11/9

"There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do." 

– Derek Jeter

  We are heading into week four of our season. Crazy how fast time is going. We now have a few meets under our belt and are hopefully getting the hang of how meets run. It is so much fun to see the girls compete. The coming week isn't quite as hectic with only one meet on Thursday. 

Here is a look at our week ahead. 

Monday: Practice 3:30 -5 pm 

Tuesday: Practice 3:30 -5 pm

Wednesday: Practice 3:30 -5 pm 

Thursday: Away Meet @ Hamilton

• Where: Hamilton Middle School.     

                             4845 136th Ave. Hamilton, MI 49419        

• Snacks: It is important to fuel up before a meet so please send a substantial snack along with your daughter to eat for a pre-meet snack. Water is also a good idea.  

• Start Time: 4pm The meet should last approximately 1-1.5 hours.    

• Transportation: HCMS and Pine Ridge students will be bused to Hamilton. The bus will leave at 3pm. PR will have early dismissal. Rose Park and ZCS will carpool to Hamilton. Please connect with your carpools to arrange travel.

• Suits/Caps: Please wear your team suit and team cap.
  * There are a few families who have not paid for suits. If you have not paid the $36 please do so as soon as possible. Checks can be made out to Holland Christian. 

• What to Bring: Suit, Cap, Goggles. Also bring shirt/sweatshirt, pants/shorts, shoes/flip-flops/crocs to wear on deck. It can be chilly.

• Entries: Entries will be sent out to the girls via email on Thursday. They will also be posted at each school building.  HCMS - Mr. Smeenge's room ZCS - Mr. Nagelkirk RP - Mrs. VanderZwaag PR - Mrs. Riemersma. Please remind your daughter to take a look at these and know her events before arriving in Hamilton. This will help things run smoother and allow us coaches to watch races and give feedback.

If a couple of parents are willing to help out on deck getting girls where they need to be and when that would be extremely helpful. 
 
Friday: Practice 3:30- 5 pm

Meet Results: Meet results will be posted on the blog at some point. I am figuring out the best way to do that so hang tight on that one. 

Looking Ahead: 
               November 16: No practice. The Aquatic Center is hosting the MHSAA Division 3 State meet that weekend and there is no practice space available. Our Varsity team will be completing at this meet so if you have interest in watching some great races and seeing what that next level of swimming and diving is like stop on by. They'd love to have you cheering for them. 
               November 22 & 23: No practice due to Thanksgiving & Thanksgiving break
