We know that all of us ( well almost all) love to crank up the team spirit with our weekly themes. To help with the Friday night / Saturday evening panic, here is the list of themes for this year. As an added BONUS, we will be keeping the theme going into the B-Meets on Wednesday – so all the more reason to start raiding the attic or the closet for some cool stuff.
Jun 19- Sports Gear
Jun 26- Twilight
July 3- Patriotic
July 10- International
July 17th- Hawaiian
Divisionals- Togas
A- Relays- Tie dye

July 6th,
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:
- Westleigh Records
- IMPORTANT NOTICE
- This Week’s B Meet
- Kings Dominion Reminder
- Banquet information
- Westleigh vs. Quince Orchard on Saturday
- A Relay Carnival
- B Relay Carnival Deadline
- Pre-Team Follies
