Scenes from the FVA Conference Swim Meet

 Hi Swim & Dive Families!

I knew I would get in trouble if I posted a bunch of diving pictures and didn't post any swim pictures, so here you go!  I've included a big bunch of my favorites from Saturday afternoon.  Enjoy!!

Special thanks to Emily Terlap who took some of these photos!

Congratulations, JV Swimmers!

Natalie Bolin Spirit Invite Champions!

Before they dressed up as Smurfs and Princesses, our swimmers and divers won yesterday's Natalie Bolin Spirit Invite at Oshkosh West.  I loved watching the varsity swim their best while the JV cheered them on.  It was a true team effort.  Congratulations, ladies!  You are true champions!

Halloween Party Highlights!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

As you know, last night was our annual team Halloween party, and I thought you might like a peek at the girls all dressed up in their costumes.  The best part of this party is always seeing what the groups come up with for a theme.  The girls really get into working on costumes--I love it!  

This year's winner of the Best Theme & Costume Award went to the Wizard of Oz group:  Lauren, Shelby, Ashley, Anna, Alicia, and Caroline.  Way to go, ladies--you all looked awesome!

There was a very realistic looking Grey's Anatomy group made up of Elizabeth, Leeah, Alli (so gross and fabulous!), Delena, & Jen:

 Emily, Morgan and Mady were completely cute at cats:

 

 Hannah, Rachel, Julia, Abby and Rachel went with a fun Dr. Seuss theme (I love Julia's bangs!):

 We had a pretty Princess group, too, made up of Melana, Karla, Lindsey, Kennady, Emily, & Emily:

 And Jamie and Emily came dressed as completely cute cowgirls:

 Julia, Emily, and Emma showed up as Where's Waldo cuties:

 and Devon, Cece, Cassidy and Emily came as Little Bo Peep and her sheep:

 Finally, Gabriella, Karly, Karla, and Kiki painted themselves blue and came as (extremely blue) Smurfs:

After the scavenger hunt, we gave out a few prizes.  As I mentioned earlier, the Wizard of Oz group won the best "Overall Group" award.  Kayla and Alli won the individual costume awards for going above and beyond with their costumes:
