This Week

First of all, I hope y'all are doing a dry-land workout on your own today. We'll be in the weight room Wednesday and Friday as well.

Next, take a minute or two to thank your parents for their support at the district meet.

Your moms and dads worked the concession stand, provided for the coach/official hospitality, officiated, cheered - you name it - all for YOU!

Also, region qualifiers that shaved for the district meet should wear hose this week. For you guys that are new to this, just ask someone at the store for something that's tough enough to last for a couple of weeks. Also, buying hose without feet will save you a lot of trouble.

Finally, there will be some tough workouts this week. Take care of school work right away so you can train well and get enough sleep. We're going to take the volume back up before we get to rest again for the region meet.

We raced well in Coppell, but both the girls' and boys' teams fell by scores of 93-59 and 85-84, respectively.

In the CISD vs. MISD dual Saturday, CISD came out on top. Team scores in the girls' meet were CISD 615 - MISD 333. The boys' scores were CISD 544 - MISD 404.

A new season Top Ten list is posted in each locker room. The girls added four (4) new times this week, while the boys put up twelve (12).

Remember, we have had a schedule change for this week's meet. We do not swim on Friday, the 15th. On Saturday, the 16th, we'll travel to McKinney for an invitational meet.

Our district meet entry meeting is Monday, January 18th. I will have a psych sheet for y'all on Tuesday, the 19th.

The district meet is Thursday, the 28th. The top six (6) finishers in each event will advance to the region meet in February.
