Congratulations to all triathlon finishers! Your efforts and team spirit were inspiring!

 Community Service Team Event at Mosquito Hill 

 

Our team got muddy for a good cause! 

Our duties included, but were not limited to: check-in and out table, obstacle demonstration and assistance, course guides and finish line greeters!

Thanks for giving back to others! You shared lots of smiles and encouraging words to the Mud Run participants.

 Are you ready for Tuesday, August 9th?

• Practice starts at 8:00-9:15am on August 9th, with a team meeting for all Rocket swimmers and divers in the pool lobby!
• Then it's into the water for the swimmers from 9:30-11:00am
• You MUST have a current physical on file with the school before you can do any physical activities with the team!
• Once you arrive at the pool on Tuesday, check in with the coaches to get your lock before going into the locker room.
• We will start our dryland activities on Wednesday, so have your workout clothes and shoes with you then! 
• Mark your calendars - Meet the 2016 Rockets and informational parent meeting at 6pm  on Thursday, Aug. 11th, in the pool parking lot area for all athletes and their families.  We do have a potluck dinner prior to the meeting, so we ask you to bring a dish to pass and a lawn chair. Lots of important info and fees collected at meeting.
• Plan to attend a NHS code meeting - the first one is this Sunday, Aug. 7th at 6:30pm in Pickard Auditorium. You will need to attend a meeting with a parent and then sign a form after the presentation.  Another code meeting is offered Sunday, Aug. 14th at 6:30.

We are excited for the 2016 season and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday! Go Rockets!

Great News on Paperwork!

The district now offers parents the option of completing the athletic paperwork online through the Infinite Campus portal! You should be receiving a mailing on Aug. 1st, of the instructions pertaining to this new feature, from the district.
You will still need to turn in a paper copy of the PHYSICAL form, when it is due.
If you have already turned in your paperwork, that's GREAT! The athletic office will still accept paper copies of all forms this year, but will be phasing it out in the future.

Important Team Dates

We are looking forward to August 9th and the start of the 2016 Rocket girls season! 

We have a few August dates that are important team events. We'd like to have all team members participate in these team building activities!

Important dates:

• Tuesday, August 16th, 6:45am-3:00pm - Trip to New Zoo in Green Bay for the 2nd annual Team Challenge
• Saturday, August 20th, 6:30am-2:00pm - Community Service event - This year we will be volunteering at the Warrior Princess Mud Run in New London, which benefits the local Harbor House
• Saturday, August 27th, 9:00am-2:00pm - Car Wash, each athlete is asked to work a 2.5 hour shift - It will be held at Schubbe-Resch on Commerical Ave.

Congratulations to our Grads!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 2016 Seniors who graduated last week! 

You have made many contributions to the Rockets during your four years and you will be missed! You are always welcome at the pool and we will look forward to seeing you! Don't forget our Alumni Meet in December!

Best Wishes! We are very proud of you!

All-State Honors

The Rockets were well-represented at the WISCA All-State banquet this past Sunday in Hartford.  All-State honors are awarded to the athletes based on their WIAA State Meet performances.  A top-four finish or equivalent time earns All-State honors and a fifth-eighth place finish or an equivalent time earns Honorable Mention All-State honors, both of which are recognized at the banquet.  

Coach Foulks, Gabby Mullally, Hannah Blob, Kiki Rice, Coach Raeth

Also earning All-State recognition for the Rockets, but unable to attend the banquet: Rachel Resch, Isabel Cortina and Maxwell Boehnlein. 

Congratulations Rockets!

NEW STARTING BLOCKS

These bold red starting blocks are an exciting new addition to our pool! They were purchased through the generous donations from supporters of NHS Swimming & Diving teams and were installed just days before the 2016 WIAA Boys Sectional meet.  

We feel very fortunate to be able to use them as a regular part of our practices and meets.  Looking forward to having the girls team enjoy them for the 2016 season, which starts on August 9th!

Thanks to everyone for your support of the Rockets!  Neenah with Pride!
