This is a busy weekend for Excel! We have swimmers participating in 3 different meets in 3 different states. We are excited to see our 2 para-swimmers competing this week in Cumming, GA. The Fred Lambert Para meet is a special format in which all the swimmers are participating in their own Para classifications. "Best of Luck" to Emmeline Perry and Josh Strachan.
We also have 12 swimmers headed up to the City of Mason November Invitational for a prelims/finals meet against a very fast host team. Keep an eye for fast results coming our way from Ohio.
Finally, we have 200 swimmers headed to Knoxville to swim in the TNAQ Fall Invite. This is always a really fun meet where Excel does well. Pay special attention to our youngest swimmers who look VERY strong against the competition.
We'll be posting meet updates tonight and tomorrow night so keep an eye on our social media!

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.
