Good morning, congratulations to all the MAKO athletes who swam so well in St. Pete's at the 14&U ISCA Meet! We had event winners (Sadie Buckley & Tyler Harris), a new NCSA qualifier (Lyla Devlin) and several Team Records! Thanks to all the families who made the trip possible for their athlete. 

A special note of thanks goes out to Erica Andresen, Elaina Moy-Jacobs & Courtney Scherber for all their work lining up the logistics of van schedules, team meals and swag distribution while on this trip. Moving/feeding/keeping 45 young'uns appropriately attired in Team Swag is an absolutely Herculean undertaking; and don't forget to thank Heather when you see her for spearheading our participation in the meet: making arrangements for hotels, doing meet entries and dealing directly with Doug & Eva (Meet Director and Admin Ref, respectively) is a job all on its own.

Here is the workout schedule for this week. We'll begin training in earnest for our LCM season next Monday, April 17...

Monday, April 10- everybody is off. Nobody swims on Monday, April 10;

Tuesday, April 11- first workout post-break (5a @ GMU) for anybody who didn't swim at the ISCA Meet. Anybody who swam at the ISCA Meet is still off;
