Pumpkin Spice Splash Preview
Pumpkin Spice Splash Preview
Tomorrow is the first day of our second home meet of the season. The first ever "Pumpkin Spice Splash" will kick off a shortened 2 day format which will be only the second time that many of our swimmers have raced this season.
While it does fall in the peak of our training for many of the older groups, we still expect to see some huge jumps in performance from our first meet.
Keep a special eye on some of our younger swimmers who may be swimming some events for the first time. Remember too that all of our 12 and under groups are currently ranked first in the SES conference and that only should be more pronounced after this weekend.
Remember that at the end of each day, you can see a quick recap on all of our social media!
Congratulations to the whole Calkins Family for their successful week in Kona Hawaii! Mom Tara qualified for the first ever All-Women’s Ironman World Championships this year and she took the whole squad with her. Excel Swimmers Madeline and Griffin Calkins were able to compete in the Keiki Dip-n-Dash which was a sprint swim and run. But the big event was this past Saturday where Tara completed the 140.7 mile race in 11:50.47 which placed her 80th out of 332 of the best triathletes in the world. Congratulations to the whole Calkins family!

All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
