(6-22-2002): With only 39 swimmers competing at Hayden Village, the Neptunes were able to give some great swims against a much larger Hayden Village team. KWSC was able to hang in there until the bitter end of the meet. The hard work put into practices really does pay off!! Congrats to the Hayden Village Villains, who are reeling in their first ever win over KWSC (232-202).
(7-7-2002): The Neptunes came into Chinquapin charged, and poised to win their first meet of the season. Against the Wahoos, KWSC showed their efforts--many swimmers achieved personal best times and very few swimmers were disqualified. KWSC also dominated the breaststroke events--ballooning a slim 9 point lead into a 49-point lead...Congratulations Neptunes!!
(7-13-2002): The Neptunes followed up their win over the Chinquapin Wahoos with an equally impressive win over the determined Glen Cove Pirates. Down by 4 points after the freestyle, the Neptunes roared back in the breaststroke and butterfly events, eventaully taking a commanding 50 point lead into the relays. In addition, FIVE team records were broken (Tyler Marriott, Kellie Chang, and Scott Murphy)!! Congratulations Neptunes! With the win, the Neptunes vault into second place in the Division.

Hints for peak performance... Remember to drink plenty of water both during practice and at meets. The hot Northern Virginia weather can suck the energy right out of your body. Don't put lots of ice cubes in the water as most do...keep the water at normal room temperature! Drink water in combination with Gatorade--not Gatorade exclusively! DO NOT EAT within 30 minutes before a race--eat right before warm-ups. If you are not swimming the first race, then eat directly after warm-ups. Remember to CHEER for your teammates!! As always...please pay attention to the meet and do not miss your event!! :) |
