Thank you Parents!

The weather today is a flashback to the day of our triathlon! Thank you for the incredible help we had from our parents and volunteers who stood out in the rain on the bike route and track to help our Rocket athletes!! 
At our dual meet on Tuesday we would like to recognize our parents for all you do for your daughter and the Rocket team! 
THANK YOU for making a positive impact on the team with your support, kindness and generosity!!

  • Please be at the pool by 5:15 on Tuesday and gather near the north end of the bleachers.  We will start announcing the parents at 5:20, starting with the Freshmen class.  Your daughter will greet you and walk with you to stand around the pool, prior to the National Anthem.  
Since this is our first home meet, here are a few of our team expectations during a meet:

  • No athletes in the bleachers - they should be in the team area on west side of pool
  • Parents please stay on the bleacher side of the yellow rope, as the other side is for athletes, coaches and meet workers.
  • There is NO cell phone use by athletes - so please don't expect updates or communication from them until after the meet.
  • Athletes are expected to stay until the end of the meet to support their teammates and help with the meet clean-up. 
  • Have FUN and cheer on our ROCKET TEAM!
It will be a busy week for us filled with lots of Homecoming activities. We look forward to starting the fun on Tuesday at home! See you there! 
THANK YOU and GO ROCKETS!
