Last week was a busy one for the team and coaches.  Tuesday was the field trip to King’s Dominion.  Wednesday was the B Meet vs. Poolesville.  Friday was the Pre Team Follies. Saturday we hosted Quince Orchard. Yesterday we hosted the A Relay Carnival and tonight we head over to QO for the B Relay Carnival.

In an A meet, there are a maximum of 792 points awarded.  In the individual races, 1st receives 6 points and the points decrease for 2nd place and so forth.  With this in mind, you can see how tough it was to lose week one by a mere 3 points!  Imagine if you will what it felt like to hear the announcer read the final score this past weekend at Woodley Gardens when he said “Westleigh 392, Woodley Gardens 399″.  Two losses by a total of 10 points!  But swim on we will!

 

Here are the topics for this week’s letter:

 

  1. Westleigh Records
  2.  IMPORTANT NOTICE
  3. This Week’s B Meet
  4. Kings Dominion Reminder
  5. Banquet information
  6. Westleigh vs. Quince Orchard on Saturday
  7. A Relay Carnival
  8. B Relay Carnival Deadline
  9. Pre-Team Follies

Support our sponsors

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
dollar-signAll,

I just wanted to send out a quick reminder about our corporate sponsors.

This year we were able to raise a substantial amount of additional revenue for the team through our corporate sponsors. This is revenue that goes directly towards the many fun activities that we host: King’s Dominion, Friday night socials and the banquet.

Below is a list of our sponsors. You can also find links to many of our sponsors on our web site. When you visit their establishments, or use their services, please mention that you are with the Westleigh Swim Team. It is important that they know that their contributions are paying off. If we all make it a point to support these fine companies, they will all be much more likely to continue supporting us in the future.
