Updated- CHAMPS DAY 2 Recap
In my tired state, I accidently missed providing you all with a recap on Henry Bise's amazing swims! My sincerest apologies as Henry had a phenomenal day :)
Good Evening Crocs,
We had an amazing second day of CHAMPS as a team and finished the season with a 9th place finish out of 28 teams with a final score of 445 points! We had fun filled two days of racing with great time drops, many medals won, and lots of loud cheering! Any medals not received at the meet has been taken to our pool and left in your folder in the ribbon box at the front along with the awards from the banquet! Congratulations on a wonderful season, Crocs :) Sorry for the length of this email but hope you enjoy reading all of the exciting news!
TEAM LEAGUE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
At CHAMPS, it was announced that we got 1st place in our team division for the Novice division points scored this season and tied for second place in the Advanced Relay category for points scored over the season! This shows the depth of our team and the efforts of all of our individual swimmers in the Novice whether it was from brand new swimmers joining the team and swimming for the first time, new events being swum in a new age group, or swimmers dropping time in the Novice category. It also is great to show that we come together as a team to really show up and race our team relays in all age groups at each dual meet of the season. Congrats on this league acknowledgement! We will add it to our running team points plaque!

THANK YOU (AGAIN!)
Thank you for all the amazing support you provided this summer-from your spirit, volunteering, cheering, and fast swimming in the parent relays last week! Summer league swimming is a true passion for so many of us as it where so many begin the sport of swimming and develop a love for water. I always enjoy watching so many memories and growth happen in the pool each summer. On behalf of the coaches, we thank you for all your time, energy, and efforts this season to make it a success!
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON AN AMAZING SEASON, CROCS! We are proud of you all and hope everyone has a wonderful end of summer and start back to the school year! I promise this is the last of my emails for this summer, but don't hesitate to reach out if we can help in anyway until we see you next season!
Sincerely,
Coach Lauren
(also, GO CROCS!!!!)
