Week #9: 10/5-10/10

What an incredible D3 Invitational this weekend! We are so proud of you girls! It was so fun to walk away with the win! With so many season and lifetime bests, this meet was an exciting glimpse of what’s to come in November. Beyond the fast swims and strong dives, what stood out most was how you worked together as a team. There was so much cheering, encouragement, and positivity throughout the meet. It was such a fun day! A huge thank you to our amazing parents for all your help and support; the meet ran so smoothly, and we couldn’t do any of this without you!
