If anyone found a Cannon Elf camera in a Vera Bradley bag at the championship, please contact Melanie Brock (Graylin, Liam, and Bunker's mom). It has several cards that go with her camera in the bag and she REALLY would like to find it! If anyone has any information, please let us know.

Great job today! We were very proud of what our team accomplished this year. There is no doubt in our minds we have the best TEAM in the league.

The entire Championship Meet Results will be posted later, but the following is just a few highlights. We had 101 individual swimmers registered in 280 individual events and 15 relay teams. The boys came in second place with 885.5 points behind Sewanee's 1095 points. The girls finished in third with 681 points behind Sewanee and Athens. Overall, MST Marlins finished in third place with 1726.5 points (Sewanee 1st-2590 points, Athens 2nd-1791.5 points).

Our end of the year pool party is going to be on Saturday, August 9th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at the Gilley Pool. We will do like last year...everyone bring a covered dish. We will have more details later, but wanted everyone to put that on your calendar!

The ten and unders begin at 10:00 a.m. at Sewanee. Our warm-ups are at 9:00 a.m., so we need everyone to be ready to swim NO LATER THAN 8:50. We are meeting at Hullett's if you want to follow at 7:45 a.m.

The eleven and ups begin at 2:30 p.m. Our warm-ups are at 1:30 p.m., so we need everyone to be ready to swim NO LATER THAN 1:20 p.m.

This is the most important meet, and they will not wait for us if anyone is late. If anyone is late, they will not be allowed to warm up with the team. So...please try to be there ready to swim at your assigned time.

Thanks for such a great year. Let's have fun Saturday!

Great swim tonight! The boys won, the girls won, and we won overall! Everyone did a really good job tonight. We are so proud that all our swimmers are in the right spot at the right time. Have you noticed they never have to wait on MST???? A big thanks to all the moms who help out with that. We truly couldn't do it without you!

Let's practice hard these next few days and go win the championship!!!

We won!!! The boys won! The girls won! We won overall! Great job everyone. We are so proud of the way you all did tonight. It is so nice to be with such a great group of kids who try really hard. Thanks for making it so much fun!

Remember....please let us know ASAP about the meet on Monday at Shelbyville. Thanks to those of you who have already e-mailed us :)

When you get to the city webpage, scroll down on the left hand side to the last heading "pages". Click on "swim team" and you can look at all of our meets individually. Thanks again, Katrina, for all your hard work!

Wow! What a great night everyone had at Lewisburg. We still have not gotten the "official" results from them (they had computer problems all night), but it was by far our best meet this year! Everyone looked great in their strokes. We are very proud of everyone. Thanks for being such great kids to work with!

Our next meet is on July 1st (Tuesday) at Manchester. We need to go ahead and find out who will be there so we can send everything in by the end of the week. Please either reply to us by e-mail or tell us Monday or Tuesday whether you are going or not.

Thanks again for a great night. Doesn't it feel good to win big????

Again, what a great night for everyone! We were so proud of everyone and their hard work last week. Our boys' team won again (they are now 3-0) against both Athens and Winchester. Our girls had a great night also, beating Winchester and falling short to Athens. What about those relay teams!!! Everyone is improving with each practice and meet.

Our plans again this week are to practice Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and take Friday off after the meet on Thursday. Wednesday should be a short practice, 45 minutes for each session instead of one hour. Thanks to all of you that have already let us know if you are coming to the meet or not. If you haven't already told Candice, please let her know TODAY. We have to turn it all in tonight.

We are waiting on the directions from their coach to their pool. Please check back for new postings. We plan on leaving between 3:15 and 3:30 again to get there.

Thanks again for being such a great group to work with!

First of all, GREAT JOB Saturday! Even Max (Sewanee's Coach) was highly complimentary of our team. Our boy's team won, while the girls had a very respectable showing. What excited us the most, was that many of our swimmers improved upon their best times from last year, that is awesome! Remember we have only been in the pool for apporximately two weeks.

Our plans this week are to practice Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and take Friday off after the meet on Thursday. Wednesday should be a short practice, 45 minutes for each session instead of one hour. Please let us know today if plan to swim in Thursday's meet.

Thanks for all your effort, lets have a great week of practice.
