21 OUT OF 27 PR'S!!!! Holy Cow!
Even with the disappointment of losing the Medley to disqualification,(wrongly I might add) our boys still stepped up and let 'er rip. Our first swim after that was Billy Wong's 200 IM. I had no idea how Billy would react to losing the Medley, but he knew he swam well on it and quickly prepared himself for the IM. All Billy did was drop a fabulous 5 sec. in 200 yards from 2:16 to 2:11. YEAH BILLY!!! Not to be outdone, in the same heat of the IM, Geoff Gilles dropped and equally impressive 4 seconds from 2:21 to 2:17. YEAH GEOFF!!!
And that's the way the day went...even though there may have been a disappointment here or there, someone was there to pick up the peices and move the team forward. That's what TEAM is all a bout. One day it's you picking up the team, the next day it's someone else. To get all athletes performing at their best on the same day at the same time is very rare. To achieve 50% or more is terrific...and we had 78%.
As we are looking forward to the State Meet this Friday, we must not forget...even though each individual athlete can't be in the water, it took each individual athlete to get us where we are. Each and every one of you owns a peice of this Meet Friday. Our TEAM is there...represented by a few.
Friday night is the pinnacle of high school swimming in WI. And we will be there! Congratulations gentlemen...
Success is spelled....BD/USM!
