This week's Sandpaper Man - Gritty Performance of The Week (The Sandy). Goes to  James Wongprokat's performance at our Grand Rapids Christian meet. James was one of 5 nominees for this week's award. 

OUR LAST MEET

Another solid swim meet on Tuesday vs GR Christian. Meet Splits can be seen on  this page. Just find the most recent meet in the schedule. These show comparisons to both lifetime best and season bests.. Negative numbers in the right column indicates the amount of time that an athlete has improved in the swim (Diving is actually just the opposite).
