Thunderweek extended.... or the shortest RITS ever

Last week was Thunderweek. Read about it in the blog if you missed it. But apparently the thunder decided to hang around a little bit longer into this week and spoil the Romp In The Swamp. Also joining thunder was his good friend "flash flood warning" which also doesn't make for the greatest meet environment. So, what we got was the shortest meet of all time. A couple of hours to set up, warm up, get everybody into positions, get a great national anthem rendition, then.... a little more than 2 events and done. About 10 minutes and it was over. On the bright side, at least we were able to finish the 8 & under Freestyle events for both the boys and girls. And that's an important one... it sort of serves as the minor league baseball game, letting us see all the talent that is going to burst onto the scene next year. So, at least we got that in. But that was about it. Results are here.

The Romp in the Swamp is always a fun (and final for most) meet every year. It is geared toward the younger Gator swimmers with the older and Divisional swimming Gators doing all the jobs normally done by the adults. It's too bad we couldn't get the whole thing in, but something is better than nothing.

Quick meet. Check.

Quick blog. Check.

The End.
