Hello Team,

I was quite pleased with the Dixie Classic. I know the scoreboard was not always in agreement, but there were more changes, and commitment to changes than I have ever perceived before. Our work on pacing and being technical the first part of the race and then more physical in the appropriate segment of the race has shown up. We made some mistakes getting out too slow, but better now than later in the season. We do swim down to our competition at times, which is frustrating …

We welcome two new members to our group today, Sarah Smith and Gunnar Bentz. This came about with Coach Jon Beber leaving us, and managing group changes for people. Let’s continue to do a good job of welcoming people.

I need your Bolles/Jacksonville trip stuff by Tuesday at the latest. Missing quite a few, and our summer schedule is built around that meet. The Bolles Team is vey good, Junior National Champions and we need to show up and make this meet a priority. This will leave us three weeks out of Sectionals, 4 weeks out of Sr. States. Please get this in by Tuesday practice so we can plan accordingly.

We have two more weeks of normal schedule, which we will do without mornings. I want you to have energy for exams, as well as get to summer schedule with something in the tank. Expect to get going right away at 3:45PM, and pack it into practice for this time. I am running another practice at 11:30 -1:15PMish for college kids for these two weeks as well. I am sure that Peter Haas will be available then, maybe some others.

Reminders:
* Bolles Trip Information
* Dynamo Work Day this Saturday from 9:00-1:00. Major projects are cutting back the brush and cleaning the dome.
* Dynamo Banquet and Senior recognition is on Saturday the 19th of June. Look for Sign-up information.
* Summer Schedule as of June 1:

Thanks for your continued support. We are going to race really well the latter part of this year. I am excited.
