Good Morning, All, After several discussions with the Facility Director this morning, the decision has been made to cancel the last day of the meet. The Winter Weather advisory has been extended to 1 pm and roads are simply not treated. Part of the decision was based on the thought that while some of us would have made it to the building, the facility would have been short staffed and we would likely not have had enough officials or meet volunteers to run the meet. Finally, we do not want...

I wanted to take a moment to address something important that came to my attention recently. A parent contacted me about a drink called Celsius that some swimmers might use. I genuinely care about the well-being of all our athletes, and I feel it's necessary to emphasize that if any swimmer is found to be using this product, they will not be able to participate in meets or practices. I understand there can be a lot of information about different products, and I genuinely hope that none of our swimmers...

Well, that was a first in RACER X history. Thanks, parents, for coming out and getting your kids, and I hope everyone made it home Safe. It Only took me an extra 45 minutes with detours of trees being down. I hope everyone is safe and that there is no house damage. Hopefully, my power will be restored sometime soon, and I’m sending this out by candlelight joking. Stay safe.
