Take us out to the Ballgame!

Good evening, Torpedo Family!

Last summer, we were able to raise funds for most of the new lane lines for the pool. We are still working to get our last several lane lines and a new line reel, which is roughly $2,400 total. We are going to work this year to finish the campaign we started last year.

The Hickory Crawdads have partnered with us to help raise money for VTST this summer through ticket pre-sales for a home game on July 17th against the Augusta GreenJackets. The game starts at 7pm at Hickory's L.P. Frans stadium.

Swimmers should be able to begin selling tickets on their own beginning June 8th. Find Coach Andersen to figure out how many tickets you might want to sell ahead of time to family, friends, and acquaintances. Also, we will sell tickets during the home meets on June 23 (vs. Granite Falls), June 30 (vs. Black Mountain and Transylvania), and July 14 (vs. Forest City).

We encourage all of our swimmers, their families, and friends to plan to attend the game, even those participating in the Sprint/Distance Meet the next morning, July 18. Let's make it a great outing!
