Holiday Party

This Saturday, December 5, at 7:30 pm, the Grubers (5445 Oxford, 214-755-9635) will be hosting our annual Christmas party and gift exchange. A message was sent out through facebook to the team, but just in case you dont check facebook or didnt get the email here is the link to the evite. A white elephant gift under $10 (not a gift-card, lazies out there!) will make your evening much more fun. Be creative. See you there!!

I give thanks for my team...

Three centuries ago, our forefathers set out on a journey to discover a place where a man could swim in something besides the English Channel. After months at sea, dying of scurvy and underchlorination, the first pioneers of America established our nation in Plymouth, Massachussetts, eating a feast with the Native Americans, and the next morning, waking up before 7 to work off the calories swimming. And so from that day forth, every year, we show up for practice on Wednesday, eat twice our body weight on Thursday, and go to practice the next morning. If our ancestors died crossing the Atlantic Ocean to bring us freedom to excel in athletics, we would be remiss not to acknowledge their selflessness and sacrifice. So if thou art a patriot, an athlete, and a member of the glorious Highland Park state-championship swim team, come to practice on Wednesday and Friday, ready to swim at 7 am.

Update No. 24

Marcus Meet.....
Boys-HP 113, Marcus-72
Girls- Marcus 94, HP- 92 (!!!!)

Well we almost trounced the 5A team, so I'm pretty sure we're still the bomb.
In other news, we have a couple of meets coming up.

COLONY INVITATIONAL- yes we are going, no it's not this Saturday
--Saturday, 11/14, events to come soon

5A TISCA
--Friday, 11/20 to Saturday, 11/21

IMPORTANT!!!! We have a HP Sports Club meeting to make an appearance at. Next Monday at 7 the entire team MUST be at the meeting, in their team polos and jeans. They give us lots of money and you WILL be spending 15 minutes waiting in line to say your name, on pain of death. It's not rocket science. If you need a ride, call a captain.

In other news, there is an SMU meet this Friday night that all swimmers are invited to time at for service hours. Sign-up sheet is in the pool. Should be awesome.

T..t...t...that's all folks!
