Results are attached to the bottom of the SWIM MEETS page for the Dual v. BYB and the Reid Sacco Invitational.  We do not have full meet results from Reid Sacco yet but will add them when available. 


Our Shark Team Spirit was strong Saturday night in Danvers -- and this time it was the parents who deserve the ribbons.  If we could award "personal bests" they'd go to our Laser Quest volunteers, especially those moms who can always be depended upon to pitch in and help at the last minute - Christine Forestier, Lisa Gilligan and Ann Campbell; "MVP's" Colleen Cacchiotti and Kathleen McDaid and the Olympic Gold to Judi Lombardi who planned, organized and sweated every detail to make sure that we all had a best time at Laser Quest last night.  Thank you ladies -- the team really appreciates your efforts not only at this event but all season long.
