Greetings Predators!

1. Notes from the coaches:

Way to go Predators! We crushed the Woods of St. Thomas, and then had such a strong performance against Douglass Hills! Owl Creek ladies scored more points than DH ladies! Wow! I am so proud of our efforts this season with dual meets.

Watch out for our biggest speeders in the pool!

Elly Carbone dropped 9.67 seconds in the 25 back!

Lainey Block dropped 9.73 seconds in the 25 back!

Will Eifert dropped 12.00 seconds in the 25 back!

Conner Pinkerton dropped 12.66 seconds in the 50 fly!

2. DH results are attached. 

3. Today is the deadline to contact Coach Kelly if you want a Time Trial on Thursday, July 6th. If you request a time trial, plan to work it. I only have had one parent sign up to help time for time trials. 

We will have time trials held on Thursday, July 6th during big kid practices (9:15 AM). If your swimmer is close to a LSA cut time, but does not get it this week, they can try for it at a time trial. If you are requesting a time trial, please plan to help volunteer as we have to set it up as a meet with timers and officials. Brooke will do stroke and turn and start. If you are a parent who can help time (we probably need 4), please let Coach Kelly and Brooke know. 

4. Pasta Dinner for swimmers only, Saturday, July 15th at 5:30 PM for Champs. Carbo-loading before we dominate LSA 2!

How to know if your child has a LSA cut time--please refer to the results document attached and from previously sent emails. The LSA 2 cut time is at the top by each event. If your child is AT that time or faster AND has swam in at least TWO meets, they will be eligible for quals (youngers will be on July 11th at Woodhaven; olders are July 12th at WST, championships are at OC on July 16th--this will be an "all hands on deck" to help make the event happen).

If your child is CLOSE to a cut time, you can request for them to swim a time trial on July 6th. Please contact Coach Kelly directly by Friday June 30th about your child doing a time trial. If you are unsure what close is, please talk with the coaches--they will be able to advise.
