Nice racing last weekend. Thousands of best times and two LIAC records! Ryan Yao took the opportunity to improve his own 200 Free Team record and set a new LIAC record in the 500 Freestyle. Way to GO, Ryan! AG1 boys took a leadership-winning Intrasquad Time Trial in September, scoring 46103 IMX points. Girls' total score came to 43016 IMX points. I can’t wait to see the official AGUA results to find out who won the girls vs boys battle this time. Congratulations to Evangelos Diamantis for winning fifth place in the 300 meters and second place in the 1000 meters open water swims in Greece last weekend! What a fantastic experience! Practice schedule: Tuesday: 4:00 - 6:00 pm Group A, 6:00 - 7:30 pm Group B Wednesday: 5:45 - 6:20 pm dryland, 6:30 - 8:30 pm swimming (Freedom pool) Thursday: 3:45 - 5:45 pm Group B; 5:45 - 7:15 pm Group A Friday: 5:45 - 7:15 am Saturday: OFF Sunday: 7:00 - 9:00 am Attached to this email, you will find the preliminary AG1 Chappy’s entry report and meet announcement. Please review and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you to those athletes and parents who sent me the goal cards. I am still missing a few. Please remind your swimmers to complete their goal cards and send them to me asap. We still await the new 2022- 2023 time standards for Championship meets. I will send them out to you as soon as they are available. I hope you all have a lovely rest of the week. Thank you, Gabi Sofia Happy Hump Day!
Gabby, Natalie, and I are excited about the meet in the city this weekend. Our athletes are ready to go fast and have fun! We were informed that AGUA limited 500 Free entries to the Top 8 in each age group. Those swimmers who were cut (see attachment below) from this event were removed from the 500 free and entered into another event. Please check the final AG1 AGUA entry report attached to this email. We will send you the meet logistics shortly. The practice schedule is regular for the rest of this week. We have an altered schedule on Monday, 10/10. AG1 group will have dryland from 2:00 to 2:30 pm and swimming from 2:45 to 4:45 pm that day. Yesterday, I emailed you the goal card for your athletes. We went over it at the practice last night. I would like to receive completed goal cards via email by Saturday, 10/8. 2023 NCSA Age Group and Junior Olympic Time Standards are not yet released. But I attached the 2022 Time Standards, so your swimmers can think about their goals for this season. I will post NEW-2023 Time Standards as soon as they are available. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great day, Gabby, Natalie & Gabi |
