Fall Semester Wrap Up

I know it has been a while since I wrote a story and I apologize for this.  This semester we can all agree that is was very busy.  Tomorrow is the last day of finals and everyone will head our for 16 days at home before we arrive back on campus and on the bus headed to Tampa, Florida.

Thus far, this season has been a remarkable one.  We spent 3 days in Pittsburgh at the University competing in our mid season meet.  For the meet we decided to do a two week taper which reflected well on the team. We swam some incredible swims and are in the perfect spot we need to be in.  A few swimmers got sick the week of the meet which was crummy but there is nothing you can do about that.  I do wonder what they could of done if there were completely healthy? All in all the team and coaches really enjoyed this meet and plan to attend the meet again next season.  One of the highlights of the weekend was the US Gymnastics Team staying in the same hotel that we were in.

As we head home for 16 days please keep in mind that you are expected to return to campus in the same shape you are currently in or better. We leave the night of the 27th and will drive through the night to Tampa, Florida.  We will arrive back here on January the 5th for registration on the 6th.

Merry Christmas!

WVWC vs. Wheeling Jesuit Wrap-Up

Tonight was incredible! We went out there and raced. Everyone swam well and is shaping up to be in perfect position for next weekend when we travel to Pitt for our mod season meet.

The women had impressive swims but were out numbered and came out with a loss. The men had a close meet and were on top by 8 with two events to go. In the end we came up a little short. Even though we came out with a loss the swims we had tonight were the important factor. Each meet is a chance to practice and improve. We went out there and raced well and came out with some very impressive swims.

We go at it again tomorrow against Washington &Jefferson College.

We are in the perfect spot for next weekend at the University of Pittsburgh.

Great job tonight team!!!!!

Fairmont State Invitational

Tonight and tomorrow afternoon we will compete at the Fairmont State Invitational.  The teams competing will be WVWC, FSU, Sweet Brier, and WV Tech.  The meet should be very exciting and close as the Bobcats and Falcons always present a close meet.

Since the WV Sate Games two weeks ago we have been training extremely tough and have not given in to the challenge.  We also had a small alumni meet last Saturday which was a chance to kick back and simply enjoy the meet.  Each week the student-athletes look stronger, faster, smarter.  This weekend should be a fun meet to see us go fast, but in 3 weeks we will go FAST!!!!!!

Our goal this weekend is to improve on what we started the season with, race the people next to you, have fun, and to swim fast.  The Bobcats have proven we are a growing team and that other teams should be timid  of what we have coming....

Come out and support your bobcats tonight at 6pm and tomorrow at 12pm at FSU.

Love our campus
