State; Swim Banquet

Congratulations to one of out captains, Natalie P! She gets the oppurtunity to go to state and this is something that is quite an accomplishment and that deserves some recognition. She has worked very hard to get there. Also, at regionals, Madison B. was awarded a medal for placing 6th overall in the region on the 100 backstroke! Amazing job Titans!

I'm asking for all of the team for one day to go to state, and support your teammate and captain. The more support we have the better. There will be a lot of people there from rival schools, and we don't want them to "outspirit" us do we? NO! So if you can go, we'll be down there on Friday, February 8th for fun, and support. State is being held at BYU.

Next on our agenda is the Swim Banquet. As many of you know, I (Alyssa) have been taking crap-loads of pictures throughout the season at our meets and activities. These are being made towards the swim banquet movie. And if you don't know what the swim banquet is, here is what it is. At the swim banquet, we reflect back on the previous season. We eat food, and chill with our friends for one last time. We also give out the letters (so you can go and get your lettersmen jackets.), and other various awards. Awards given out in the past have included the most improved swimmer award, and the best team spirit award. This is something you don't want to miss out on. As soon as there is a date, I will let you know. All we know is that it will be sometime after state.

ALSO! I NNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD your pictures that you have taken this past season. I will take any and all that you have of the team or yourselves. If you have any, upload them here.

Another note, if you haven't been recieving our text messages but would like to, please fill out this form and we will get you added to our list of people to text. Here's the link.

An Update

First and foremost I'd like to announce that due to winter storm Gandalf, practice has been cancelled today! That was pretty much the whole reason in writing today.

I'd also like to take the time to thank everyone who came to the Christmas Party. It was a great success, and I don't know about you guys, but I had a TON of fun. For those who missed, you guys missed out on an epic party. From Gingerbread house making, to the white elephant, to the whipped cream game! And for those that stayed after, the Princess Bride. I really hope that you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

In the works currently is the swim team banquet video. At the end of the year we have a "party" called the swim banquet. The date has yet to be decided upon, but it's way fun. If you took any pictures of you and your swim team friends, please send them to this link: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BwY6BeQcFLDkbVdQTmcyMGM1Ylk/edit

Thanks for all your hard work titans! It's paying off!
And... ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF! :D

Christmas Party

Long time no post right? Now that I have something to post to the blog here's a new and updated post:

On Friday, December 21st (that's this Friday) we will not be having practice because we are having the Christmas Party instead! If you are interested in going, it will be at Alyssa's house (that's me) and we will start as soon at around 3 (just because that's when practice starts.). If you want to come a little earlier, that's cool too! I would love to hang with my swim team peeps.

Another note, Clearfield Falcons are invited too! If you guys are reading this (which I doubt you are) I would love for you all to come! I gave your team flyers, and I posted a picture of it to your Facebook page that was entitled "Clearfield High Falcons' swim team."

The Christmas party will be a pot luck and we will be having a White Elephant, so please come with food and a gift. And of course yourselves. Again just to recap:
What? Christmas Party
When? Friday, Dec 21st
Time? In place of practice
Where? Alyssa's house.

To see the flyer, please visit and LIKE your team's Facebook Page. Here's a link to Syracuse's Page:

College Recruitment Night

Meets this week

Hey Swimmers!
We have 2 meets this week! You heard it right, 2 meets! We have a meet on Tuesday (against Weber, @ Weber) and one on Saturday. The one on Saturday is super important, because it's Districts! District is the second most important meet (third if you count state) so we all need to try our hardest and give 110% effort in practice (even though you should be doing that anyways.). Don't worry so much about the meet against Weber, but do with the District meet because it is a meet against the ENTIRE district (us, Clearfield, Layton, Northridge, Woods Cross, Bountiful, Davis) so it will be important. The meet against Weber will be starting at 3, and Districts will be starting at 8AM. The bus will probably leave the school at 6 or 6:30, but that isn't an official time, so I will post to the Facebook wall with the official time.

An Update

Hey all you fab swimmers!

Just a little update this time pertaining to some upcoming events.

First off, we will have a team meeting tomorrow and we will talk about some IMPORTANT stuff. Let me emphasize IMPORTANT! If you don't go, you may not know what you have to accomplish in order to letter. So please come, because you will also be getting a list of all the meets. If you don't swim, still come. If you don't want to just sit there, come at 4:00 and then we will be pretty much done with practice.

On the subject of meets, all the meet dates have been added to the calendar tab. It's up on top of this blog, and will provide you with a complete list of all the meets.

That's all for now, we will post again tomorrow with all the information you need.

Thanks Titans!
