Weekly Updates
Nationals online entries can still be taken until July 6th. After that date, there is a late fee applied. Since the meet will be held in Houston, I am encouraging everyone to enter. You may swim up to 3 events without qualifying. It will be a great opportunity to experience a meet at this level.

Our 50 + ladies were nothing less than consistent. Kat Boyer swam 6 events, finishing 4th in 4 of them and top ten in all 6. Colleen Holloway swam 5 events and finished 5th in 4 of them, and 6th in the other. Jan Miller placed 1st in 4 of her 6 events, plus a 2nd and 3rd.
