The End

This is the final post of my blog, and it is coming at a good time. The Trinity Women’s swim team’s season is over now. This is what we call the off-season, practices are no longer taking place and we have some time off. Many swimmers still work out and train to stay in shape. We now say good-bye to our amazing seniors and the freshman class of girls is helping recruit a new class into trinity. The possible incoming freshman swimmers are very promising, and we hope to be able to get some really great swimmers to next year’s freshman class. It is sad to no longer have swimming in my school schedule but the break is still very nice. I know that myself and the other girls on the team look forward to next year and our new season. Next year will be the eight-year we will compete for a winning title. I know we all hope to continue to win. To help achieve the goal it will require lots of hard work and dedication in the off-season. But I know the Women’s team is ready and willing to put in the time. 2010-2011 should be another stellar season for the Trinity Women’s Team.

CONFERENCE CHAMPS 2010

WE DID IT!! Seven years in a row the Trinity Women’s Swim team has been victorious at Conference. Conference 2010 took place in Louisville Kentucky February 18th through the 20th. The women’s team had season and life time best performances. The meet was a massive success, everyone pulled their own weight and we came out on top in the end. Renee Ulrich a graduating Senior had life time performance, she placed second in the mile, and had top eight finishes in the 500 free and the 200 back. Ana Price a freshman has top eight finishes in all her individuals. I myself had life time best performances, I finished first in my 400 IM and then second in the 200 FLY and third in the 200 IM. I was very happy and excited with how the team did. We must though thank the women divers. Without them we would have not won the meet. On the one and the three meter we had seven Trinity Women divers in the top eight. Haley Emerick won both the one and three meter in the diving competition. Giving Trinity a lead on our biggest competitor Depauw. In addition to winning races we had numerous kids obtain National B cuts, which is a big deal in the swimming world. Overall Conference was a very exciting and full filled week.

The Time Has Come

This is it; the time has come for the Trinity Women’s team to prove themselves. It is time to protect and seven-year winning streak. All of our hard work, time and dedication is about to pay off. The Trinity Women’s swim team will be heading to Louisville Kentucky Tuesday morning. This is the final meet of the season, Conference. We will be swimming on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and will return to San Antonio on Sunday. This meet is the biggest one of the year; we will compete against our best competition and be protecting a winning streak. It is going to be a close one, but I believe that the Women’s team has what it takes to dominate the competition and to come out victorious. I feel as though we have all been very well prepared for this meet and are ready to swim fast. The last meet of the year is the one that swimmers get tapered for. A taper is what is known as resting a swimmer so they will swim really fast at important meets. We have all started our taper and are very ready to see the results. Hopefully the Women’s team will return to San Antonio with another win under our belt. GO TIGERS

Closer to Conference.

I ended my last blog with the results of the swim team at our last meet against McMurry. Between then and now the swim team has attended two more meets. Our coach has really pushed us hard over the past few weeks. We did not receive any rest before our last two meets. We headed to the Woodlands to swim Centenary the weekend after McMurry. The morning of we woke up at 6:30 a.m to practice then jump on a bus to head to Houston. Our meet was very short and many of us swam four of five events in under two hours. This proved to be very challenging for the girl’s team. We were defeated by Centenary, but to give us some credit they are a Division One swim team. The women on the team were tired and it was starting to show. Our coach did not let up over the next week before our last meet before conference. This past weekend the Trinity Swim team headed across the street to Incarnate Word. The team swam in the UIW invite, and competed against five different teams. This meet consisted of three sessions in one and half days. Most of the girl’s were beyond tired, but this did not stop us for trying our hardest. Every single girl went out there and raced her heart out. We may not have had very many best times or race winners but this is to be expected. The Trinity Women’s team placed second to Incarnate Word, the Division two swim team. Even though we were all beyond tired we really showed what we can do, and pushed through all the pain, finishing our last meet on a high note. Our next swim meet in conference, this is the meet we have all been waiting and training for. Conference takes place February 17-20, in Louisville Kentucky, and the girl’s teams is hoping to make our winning streak eight years in a row.
