A Couple More Thank Yous!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

It's time to recognize a few more special people who have helped us out in the past week.  As always, we are so thankful to all of the parents who prepare and serve us meals, time at meets, and run our timing system!  We couldn't do it without you!

Last Friday afternoon, a group of Varsity parents arrived early to serve the team dinner before the Terror Relays.  A big thank you to Barb Penn, who organized the meal, and to Laurie Waters and Janet Coons for serving on the meal team.  The girls really enjoyed the subs (and they LOVED the cookies!).

On Tuesday night before our Oshkosh North/Lourdes meet, Kim Hermans (and her parents!) coordinated a pasta feast.  Thank you, Kim, Jamie Anderson, Karen Martis, Jes Zwaskci, and Jane Stingle for serving up such a wonderful meal.  The girls loved it--especially ALL OF THOSE BREAD STICKS!!  I'm pretty sure there can never be too many bread sticks for our team.  : )

A big shout out to all of the parents who timed this week and to Darrin for running the timing system. You guys are great!  Thank you!

Terror Relay Champions!

 Hi Swim & Dive Families!

I thought you might like to see some fun pictures from last Friday night's big Terror Relay meet.  It was quite a night for our Rockets!  We took home the first place trophy.  In fact, we took home two first place trophies.  : )

Here are a few pictures from the winner's podium (which was on the blocks--please excuse the annoying cords that show up in pretty much every picture).  A big thank you to Emily Salm who captured the awards pictures:

And here are a few fun candid shots:

And here's one last shot of our seniors holding the trophy:

 Congratulations, ladies, on your big victory!  It was a totally fun meet!

Congratulations, Kiki & Hazel!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

It was another record-breaking meet on Tuesday night!  We took on Oshkosh North/Lourdes and continued our dual meet win streak.   The meet was special before it even began, as it was Parent's Night, a chance for all of us involved with the team to recognize the parents behind all the athletes.

Once the meet got started, we witnessed not one, but two record-breaking swims!  Kiki Rice took down the oldest record on the board, the 500 free.  She posted a time of 5:10.04--it was awesome!

Hazel took down the newest record on the board, her own 6 dive record from last week!  Hazel's new record is 332.30.  Amazing!

Congratulations, ladies!  We are all so proud of you!

Athletes of the Week!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

Due to our unusual practice schedule for the rest of the week, we gave out this week's Athlete of the Week awards on Thursday.  We had no problem picking three fantastic athletes this week; Hannah Blob, Hazel Hertting, and Kayla Conn each had an awesome meet on Tuesday night!  All three have been working hard in practice, and it shows when they compete.  Congratulations, ladies!  We are proud of you!

Congratulations, Hazel!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

Wow!  What a meet last night!  There was a whole bunch of excitement during last night's dual meet vs. Appleton East, but nothing was more exciting than watching Hazel Hertting break her own 6 dive record!  Hazel jumped and twisted and tucked her way to a record-shattering 320.20 points last night. It was the first time that many of the NHS swimmers got to watch Hazel and Caitlin compete, and they definitely brought their A-games!   Want to see a few highlights from Hazel's record-setting dives?  Here are a few of my favorites:

Congratulations, Hazel!  We know this is just the beginning of what we are positive is going to be an amazing season for you!

Athletes of the Week!

Hi Swim & Dive Families!

It was another great week for NHS Swim & Dive!  Last week we transitioned into our regular practice schedule as classes started on Tuesday.  Even without any meets on the schedule, we had no problem picking three awesome Athletes of the Week.  Congratulations, Hannah Sisto, Lindsey Coons, and Jamie Beyer for your outstanding work both in and out of the water.  Way to go, ladies!
