This past Saturday the team went up to Bridgewater and came back with a 133-62 victory. Our swimmers won all 11 of 11 events en route to the W. We had a little fun with the line-up for the meet, swimming some girls in "off" events, while trying to create some close races between the A and B relays. And that's all the meet was about for us, getting up and competing while working on racing skills. I wasn't too concerned with times for two reasons: 1) Bridgewater's pool is a short course meters pool, and 2) Our team wasn't that fresh, having practiced in the morning prior to getting on the bus.
Event winners were:
400 Medley Relay: "B Team" - 4:55.54
800 Free: Meredith Walters - 10:30.92

Yeah, the B relays shut out the A relays at the meet. The medley was close though, the B hit in 4:55.54 to the A's 4:55.65. It was a good, back and forth race. Next up for our team is Greensboro next weekend, which is also Senior Day at R-MC.
Special thanks to the movie committee for two great selections on the bus rides. A guy can only take so much of the "Step Up" franchise.
