A quick run-down on the meet:
While things started somewhat chaotic due to technical issues, it quickly ran very smoothly. The races were great, and our kids really dug deep in some of them and pulled out great times. Fools in the Pool was a lot of fun (especially getting to run a little interference on Black Mountain's coach- fun pay back for Tuesday!), and we had more participate in that than we have had in a while. We were the third largest team there, but we certainly had the biggest presence.

I hope you all will join us this coming Saturday at Rotary Park at 5pm for our potluck. I'll be sending out another sign-up genius link for that, as well as the end-of-the-year survey shortly. We'll also have pictures, ribbons from the season, trophies, and any t-shirts that you ordered that may not have been picked up.
Thank you all again! I truly can't say it enough! I look forward to celebrating with you all on Saturday!
