Congratulations to all of our swimmers who competed this last weekend in both the 8 & Under and Region 1 Championships. Our championship teams sure made us proud! We ended up sweeping the championships with first place finishes in the boys, girls and combined team scores for both meets. Congratulations to Addie Willard and Bode Mello for winning the High Point Awards and to Abi Brownyard for her runner-up finish. Congratulations also to Arden Ford for breaking the 23 year old 10 & Under 200 Breast record with a time of 2:58.07. Finally, congratulations goes out to Caroline Dealy who hit her Age Group Sectional cuts in both the 200 Fly and the 400 IM to earn her IM Hall of Fame Level 2. Level 2 means that she now has both the SES and the AGS cuts in EVERY event in her age group!
Thank you so much to all of our coaches and volunteers who put in very long hours this weekend. You are very much appreciated.

Throughout the long course season, we will be carefully following our team's national ranking as we aim to break into the top 40 for the first time every. You can follow along here!
Over the course of the short course season, our club will be tracking a series of recognition programs to help motivate our swimmers to succeed un a multitude of events. While ultimately these programs do reward success, they are designed to be achievable by any level of swimmers, not just those with the most experience. You can always find the running totals for each at the bottom of the Excel Extras.
Heat Winner: Place in the top three swimmers in your age group for number of races won throughout the year. This award tends to favor those athletes that are attending meets, swimming a lot of events, racing hard but most importantly, improving throughout the year. Winners will receive a "Heat Winner" bag tag.
IM Hall of Fame Level 1- Attain a Southeastern Championship Qualifying time standard in every event available for your age group.
IM Hall of Fame Level 2- Attain an Age Group Sectionals Championship Qualifying time standard in every event available for your age group.
IM Hall of Fame Level 3- Attain an NCSA Junior National Championship Qualifying time standard in every event available for your age group.
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. Meet officials
Ensure a safe and fair competition for all our athletes
