Thank You and a Few Odds and Ends

Hi Team!

Holy cow!  We had 50 volunteers show up to help on Sunday at Lambeau!  Despite a *brief* sprinkle, I'd have to say that Sunday was the most pleasant of all the Lambeau cleaning days we have ever done.  There was WAY less trash to clean up, and we even got to go on the field.  Given the reaction of all of the Packer fans in our group, I'm guessing that is a big deal.  :)  I'd like to say a special thank you to the dads who gave up part of their Father's Day to support the team and to Chad Heldt and Connor O'Brien who came out to support the team as alumni.  Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped on Sunday.

All kinds of information about June 30th's AW-K Triathlon will be posted after I meet with the guys later tonight.  We are going to need about 25 volunteers to help out that day in order to make sure the course is safe for all of our athletes.

Our all-program trip to Noah's Ark is July 12th.  You must have your permission slip and fee in to a captain or myself by July 7th.  To get a permission slip, click on the link on the side of the page and print one out.  The permission slip says "Appleton West" on the top, but it is for both Appleton West and Kimberly athletes.  There is a $40 fee for the trip which covers the admission price and bus costs.

Lambeau Field Clean Up Dates!

Hi Team!

Remember how much FUN we had cleaning Lambeau Field last year?!?  Well, good news!  We get to do it 4 more times!  Hooray!  That's a minimum of $2,100!  We are planning on using the money we raise at Lambeau to purchase team bags.  

This year we will be working with the girls team to ensure that we have at least 30 people each time.  Of course, the more people we bring to each clean-up, the more money we make, so I'm hoping we get 40+ each time.    Each team member needs to commit to volunteer at least twice (you can definitely come more than twice!) and you need to bring at least one parent to one of those two dates.   

Here are the 2017 Dates:

Sunday, June 18th at 1-4 pm
Monday, July 31st at 4:30-7:30 pm

Friday, August 11th, at 4:30-7:30 pm
Friday, September 1st, at 4:30-7:30 pm

 All kinds of directions will be posted once it gets closer to the first clean-up date.  Please email me or text me and let me know which dates work for you.  I can't tell you how excited I am to clean Lambeau with  all of you 4 more times!

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki

Athletes of the Week!

 

 Hi Team!

Wow!  How wonderful was last Saturday's Conference meet?!?  I promise I'm going to sit down and do a couple of meet recaps once things settle down, but for now, I'd like to recognize three guys who did a spectacular job at Conference (and all year!).  This week's Athlete's of the Week are Nick O'Brien, Ian Hawley, and Benjamin Todd.

Nick dove his way onto the podium with his 7th place finishing score of 275.70.  This is Nick's first year diving for AW-K, and he has done a fantastic job improving his technique and scoring needed points all season.  Congratulations, Nick!  I see many podiums in your future!

Ian swam a season-best 50 free and dropped another 3 seconds in his 100 back on Saturday to land on the podium in 6th place! Ian also swam on the JV 400 FR which finished 11th.  Ian is an incredibly hard worker, and is totally deserving of being named Athlete of the Week!

Ben has been a huge varsity points contributor all season, and Saturday was no exception!  He dropped 3 seconds off his 200 free to finish in 7th place, and he took 8th place in the 100 fly.  He was a key member of the 200 FR which finished in 4th, and the 400 FR which took 3rd.  He went 4/4 on podiums on Saturday!  Ben has also trained extremely hard this season, and I can't wait to see what he accomplishes on Saturday!

Congratulations, guys!  I am very proud of you!

With AW-K Pride,

Coach Vicki
