Zone 1 South Meet Championship Report for MCAT

Participating Swimmers:   46

Entered:   51

Coaches Attending:   5

The MCAT participation in the 2010 Zone 1 South Championships was formidable.

Our team looked good, sporting team beanies and scarves.  Parents fulfilled their responsibilities in timing, marshaling, and officiating.  But, most important the kids had a great time and swam well.  The” performance pie chart” was a hit with the kids earning 11 pies for the team.   In spite of inclimate weather, the kids bested many of their recent times.  From a coaching perspective this meet was fun and stress free and a great team building event. 

The pizza social on Saturday evening went well, with Mike Rianda donating Pizza for the team and Cindy Noda donating the drinks.  Parents were very generous at the meet providing for coaches and other team members.   What a fantastic start to the New Year.

Much was learned at this meet.  Those who have worked hard at practice and who have attended practice regularly benefited the most.  Some coming back after injury, vacation, or another sport realized their level of conditioning or lack thereof.  High school age swimmers got to see where they are at before sprint season begins.  Many earned Central California JO cuts.  For me, I learned that we have a great group of kids, coaches and parents.  I am part of something very special in my career as a coach.  I love this team!!!!!!
