A few scheduling things. Next Thursday and Friday, the Keefe Tech pool time is 5:30-7:00 AM. These are the mornings of finals. Jim Carboneau, the AD, has offered to rent the Milford Pool on Friday evening for the team, so that they can still have their work-out and practice (Jim also wanted it to be a fun practice for the kids so they can unwind after finals). So I believe Brian will make the morning practices of Finals either optional or cancelled altogether, and if the Milford Pool can be rented, have practice then. Brian should be letting all the kids know.
Another thing to get more pool time for the swimmers will be done on Sundays. While M-F practices are for the Swim and Diving Team, Sundays now will be Swim Team only. That way, the lanes taken up by the divers will be used for swimmers, and both coaches will be able to work with all the swimmers.
Only 3 meets left of the season, followed by the TVL Championship meet on February 8th, which will mark the end of the season for most kids. However, several kids will move on to the Sectionals and States – with some swimmers not qualified yet but pretty close. Last Monday, the Girls 200 IM Relay team of Christina Belforti, Brittany Cuevas, Julie Beauchemin, and Danielle Potemri qualified for the Sectionals, joining Matt who qualified for both Sectionals and States. http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/Results/2009-2010/2009-10_Post_Season_Qualifiers.pdf
Several swimmers have times that are close to qualifying, including Christina Belforti (missed by just 0.03 seconds in the 100 yard backstroke), Danielle Potemri (50 Free) and Steph Ydoate (100 Free). Times to improve for qualifying can be found for each swimmer in their result sheet (3rd column). http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/Results/2009-2010/individual_results.html .
All of the kids results, as well as best team times, are on the web at http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/Results/2009-2010/2009-10_results.html Many kids have shown great improvements in their times, and they can see this on their sheets. Hopefully, with good practices these next 2 weeks, they can improve on their performances!
Finally, a nice article was put in the Tab this week. It started with some bland words I submitted with all the kids mentioned (basically what I sent out a week or so ago and what was posted on Holliston Net News, but was then enhanced with quotes from Brian and others. I posted a copy of it on the “In the News” area of the website. The link to the article itself is http://www.hollistonhaba.com/Pages/Sports/Swimming/In_the_News/2009-10/Swim_Team_Tab_Article_Jan_14.jpg
