 Coach's MEDLEY - swim notes from Coach Kelly
Turned out to be a beautiful morning for a swim meet MO Magicians!
This is the fifth win of the season for our swimmers!
The final score was MO 650 and NK 288
Want more details? Here are the Full Results for MO vs NK

Excellent showing from MO at our recent home meet (almost 200 swimmers)!  Hoping to see a lot of faces at our away meet as well this Saturday.  We have two more opportunities for swimmers to get seed times for All City so I would encourage swimmers to check in with their coaches about their best events.  If you sign up and notice your best time isn't in the seed time window please consider adding a note with a time.  I can manually enter those times during my meet prep.

Swim Stars of the Week
Each week our coaches choose a boy and girl swimmer in each age group that displayed something extra special during that week...it could be awesome sportsmanship, taking on a new challenge, staying super focused during practice, an impressive swim at the meet, an exceptionally sunny attitude, or anything else that represented MO especially well. Check out their picks for this week here: Swim Stars
