"Be strong and courageous, and do the work.  Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God is with you.  He will not fail you or forsake you."  I Chronicles 28:20

"In sport as in business, there are three types of people.  Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened."  Tommy Lasorda

Here's a look at another busy week ahead as we fall into the routine of the season.  Let's make sure we're staying caught up on sleep, homework and nutrition as we're heading into the conference portion of our season.

This week is our D3 Midseason invitational, which means that we are about halfway through our season already! As we fall into the routines of school, practice and homework; are we leaning on God for our strength?  Being strong and courageous?  Making things happen, or watching?  The midseason invitational is a good check point for all of us to look back at what we've done to prepare thus far, and what we are willing to commit to as we go forward into the second half of our season.

Details about the invitational...

• This is an invitational meet with other Division 3 schools.  It will be at the Holland Aquatic Center.  
• The meet starts at 11am, and will likely finish by 3pm.
• Each team is limited to 3 entries per relay and 4 entries per individual event.  This is much more limited than a normal dual meet, but we will do our best to get everyone at least 2 swims while maintaining our fastest possible lineup.
• The meet is straight seeded by time.
• The top 16 overall score in each event, regardless of heat.  A and B relays can score.
• Awards are given out during the meet to the top 3 in each relay and the top 8 for each individual event.
• Divers will complete an 11 dive list that will run simultaneously with swimming.

We still need several timers for the invitational!  If you are available, please sign up to help - the link is to the right under the "volunteer sign ups" tab....
