Weekly Update for May 14, 2012


ABBY SEEGER INVITE- Meet wrap up:
Congratulations to everybody who swam at the Abby Seeger Invite, hosted by Retriever up at UMBC this past weekend! Everybody swam very well, and SMAC now boasts seven MD State Championship qualifiers:

Bekah Johnson, Margaret Foulkes, Connor Currie, Conner Lowery, Ethan Williams, Joe Williams and Tommy Cranford

Congratulations to all of you! Last scy season we had three MD State Championship qualifiers, so we're continuing to improve; it would be great if everybody continues to work hard & stays focused on our goal of TEN qualifiers for the MD Stae Championship meet next year. Keep up the good work!


Schedule for the week:
There are several changes to the workout schedule for this coming weekend, May 19 & 20, as Wagner Aquatic Club (Staten Island, NY) will be joining our Plat/Gold swimmers for some great long course training:
Saturday, May 19- Plat/Gold workout from 10 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (LCM); then again 5-7 p.m. (scy).
Sunday, May 20- Plat/Gold workout from 8-10 a.m. (LCM).
THERE WILL BE NO PLAT/GOLD/SILVER WORKOUT ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 20.
Our regular workout schedule will resume with Plat/Gold drylands on Monday Morning at 5:30 a.m.


SNOW Swimming Invite, June 1-3, 2012
The entries for the SNOW Swimming Invite have been submitted and the entry fees for this meet have been emailed to each family (they're also posted on the bulletin board). Please speak with Rachel at the Front Desk and let her know how you want to cover those fees by Friday of this week, May 18. Thanks for your attention to this!


FINAL EXAMS: 
Please encourage your children to spend at least ten minutes each night reviewing for their 
final exams. June is just a couple of weeks away, and nobody should be in a position where they have to cram to prepare for their exams. Remember, the STUDENT comes first in student-athlete.


LOOKING AHEAD:
Last workouts for the Bronze Group will be either Wednesday, May 23 or Thursday, May 24.
Bronze Mini-Meet (for both groups) will be on Wednesday, May 30 at 6:00 p.m.
NO WORKOUT FOR ALL GROUPS ON MONDAY, JUNE 4, 2012 (day after the SNOW meet)



Quote of the week:
It's not about how hard you can hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and then keep on hitting.
