Tuesday--Pre Meet

We are in our last day of pre meet set up here in Birmingham. All of the teams are arriving as we speak (Most of the swimmers have been here for a day or more) and the excitement is in the air of a Division II Festival.

Breakfast has been provided by the Festival, and it was for sure a good one. Britt and I ate with the swimmers from IUP and then finished up when the LHU Track and Field team came down, spending the last few minutes with them. Its great that the two teams are sharing in the same experiences, and when the events get going it will be even better that they get to support one another.

Britt had a pretty good swim yesterday, and followed it up again today in a very crowded pool. She showed her senior experience by not letting the congestion in the lane get to her, instead she did her normal warm up like she was the only one in the pool.

Lunch was a delicious stop at Chick Fil A....which happened to be open this time! Britt was pleased! Afterward she went to the hotel to relax and I went to the mandatory coaches meeting. The opening ceremony will be held tonight at 6pm, with us getting shuttled over to it beginning at 5:30pm. Should be a lot of fun, and its great to see Britt soak it all in one last time.


Prelims begin tomorrow at 10am (Central Time) and the 50 free is a great way to get this meet started for Britt! The live stream can be viewed here.

I’ve started a Nationals tab on the side of the page for your convenience, follow us all throughout this week! GO HAVEN
