SSL Champs - Day3

Good morning Sharkies, Shark Friends and Shark family,

We did it!

Sharks have finished the season in last place every season since 2017 (SECOND TO LAST THAT YEAR). This year we got 6th place and finished 36 points away from 5th place.

We are one of the smallest teams in the League and for the first time in a long time we took home the PRESIDENTS CUP team award!

The Presidents Cup award basically acknowledges that we are too small to win outright but had the most points per swimmer!

When I came to Sharks three years ago no one was talking about goal setting, intervals, or RECORDS...Lexi Power set a record that year at champs and lit a spark. Fast forward to today and athletes come the first week of practice with a goal in mind and immediately ask how they can reach their goal. The change in that mindset and the continued development of our coaching paid off! We literally doubled our points scored at Champs this year and--for the season--set 8 or 9 new team records! (its bad when there are so many new ones you might have lost count!) look for a full report on that later.

Go Sharks!

Three years ago we took 11 kids to MOC, the following year 32, this year we have 35 but three times as many events.
