Meet Results and Comments

First the bad news: there are no meet results. Yet. The computer data files are totally wacked and need to be rebuilt, not a quick task. We are hoping to have something by first of next week.

Good news: Several things, where to begin?

1. The meet suits arrived, fit well (aw, stop whining), and looked great.

2. The chow was GREAT! Not just fruit, granola, and water, but GREAT fruit, string cheese, and the best chicken salad sandwiches I've eaten in 5 1/2 months! Thanks to the parents for ALL of that!

3. The t-shirts are terrific, big thanks to Mr. D, he says the caps will be here shortly.

4. The parents (and Mr. Falco) who enthusiastically pitched in to help transport our pride of sea lions to Alief when the buses were not available just blew me away. You guys were awesome! No complaining, just "What can I do to help?" Outstanding PJ23 SPIRIT!

5. And the BIG ONE: The way the swimmers performed was inspiring. Coming back in the second half of races and racing the finish like WARRIORS, finishing a 100 fly IN GOOD FORM and not complaining or winging (Aussie term, pr. "winj-jing"), being so FAR behind in the 400 relay and blasting a great last leg to not just catch up, not just overtake, but BURY the SJS team.

The team spirit is excellent. We cheer better and have more fun cheering DURING the meet, especially from the "peanut gallery" (parents in stands, nice and LOUD for -ALL- swimmers!).

LOVE that PJ23 spirit!!!

Thanks for a great meet, great support, and great expectations!
