March 16th Meet vs St Rose

Th Eagles put in another good showing in a loss to a very strong St Rose team (284-98). St Rose finished the season 8-0, a very impressive feat and we offer them our congratulations. If you blinked, you probably missed a few races, as the official sped through the events at a ridiculously fast pace. Our attempt to add an additional relay event did not work out as planned, so I apologize to any who missed out on participating in the extra event.

Also, best wishes for a quick recovery to all who are suffering from the flu. You will notice we were missing many swimmers who either called in last minute due to illness or showed and treid to swim, but were just not up to par at the meet. We definitely missed having you on the deck cheering and in the water competing.

Despite the loss, we continue to have terrific individual success, winning a total of 78 ribbons, so I offer my congratulations to all, not just those who earned a ribbon, but those who competed and turned in some great races.

Congratulations to the following who earned a first place ribbon...

• Kyle Carroll: Boys 10U 25 yd Freestyle
• Doug Chase: Boys 8U 25 yd Backstroke
• Kyle Carroll: Boys 10U 25 yd Backstroke (Kyle is now 7-0 in this event)
