Check out the results which I posted on the website. There are a few times that are within reach of qualifying for sectionals – with 3 dual meets and the DCL Championships remaining, there are 4 more opportunities! We have 8 athletes in 4 different events so far in the post season!
Team Pictures were taken by Henry Studios – every kid on the team was there (and lookin’ good!). These pics include the photo for the yearbook, and you can order prints at the banquet if you desire – Henry donates the proceeds from these sales to HABA. They also have action shots from the meet – contact them if you would like to see them as well.
It was great to see every kid at the meet. I spoke with Jim Carboneau, the HHS Athletic Director, who was in the stands and he was pleased to see the performances and improvements of the kids.
Thanks to the volunteers for timing and score-keeping:
Bob Beauchemin, Lynn and Tom Oertel, Pat Montain (Lane 1 expert), Amy Curry, Beth Flynn (she has no choice since I’m doing the recruiting), Suzan Culver, Pat Hutchinson, and Ed Kriegsman – Hope I’m not forgetting anyone!

End of Season Info
I’ve gotten a few questions on what happens at the end of the season, especially with regards to Sectionals and States, and associated practices. I’ve updated the schedule to the best of my knowledge on the website http://www.hollistonhaba.com/pdf_files/Sports/Swimming/Swim_Team_Calendar.pdf - always subject to change ;-)
First, the regular season concludes officially at the completion of the Dual County League (DCL) championship meets, which concludes on February 7th.
There are 4 meets remaining, 2 this week (Tues. 1/20 and Weds 1/21), one next week (Friday 1/30), and the final Dual Meet Monday February 2nd.
The DCL Championships are split in to 4 meets, 2 diving events, and 2 swimming events. Boys Diving only is Weds, 2/4 , while Girls Diving only is 2/5, both at CC at 3:30. Boys Swimming DCL Championship is Friday, 2/6 at 5PM, and Girls is Saturday 2/7 at 10:00 AM, both at the Atkinson pool in Sudbury.
Other than the 500 Free, there are no qualifying standards for the DCL http://www.hollistonhaba.com/pdf_files/Sports/Swimming/08-09_qualifying_standards.pdf That means that Brian and Dom will fill the rosters, but I would guess that most if not all kids will participate in these events.
So, in short, the last day of the season for all kids not participating in Sectionals or States will be Saturday, Feb 7th.
For those kids moving on to sectionals or states http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/post-season-qualifiers.html practice will continue after that. Brian and Dom will work practice times. I would think that for kids not competing in sectionals or states, practice would not be required. But that would be up to Brian and Dom.

Results of Hopkinton-Ashland Meet
The Holliston Swimming and Diving team competed against a large, strong Hopkinton-Ashland team Friday, January 2nd at Keefe Tech. Despite several strong performances by Holliston, the Boys team fell by a score of 51 to 99, while the Girls team lost a competitive meet by a score of 69 to 95. The Boys and Girls teams both stand at 2-1, with the teams co-ed meet record at 0-2.

Other strong performances for Holliston were turned in by Troy Hutchinson (diving and 100 yd breastroke), David Kreigsman (100 yd breastroke), and Sam Wolpert (200 yd Individual Medley).
