Lee's Hill Lightning versus Spotswood Results

Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,

Well lightning has struck twice in Lee’s Hill.  Once at my house last night, and it took out all my internet service, phone, and TV right before the meet.  Thankfully – Verizon was on the case this afternoon, and my service was restored.  I apologize for the delay in sending out this e-mail.

Second, at last night’s meet! As you all know lightning struck many times last night and the meet with Spotswood was delayed for nearly two hours, but our swimmers swam and cheered their hearts out once they got the meet underway,  and the Lee’s Hill Lightning won our first American Division meet of the year!

The final score was Lee’s Hill - 178 and Spotswood - 173.

Congratulations to the following two swimmers for Most Improved Times:

Reese Hensen (5)            Girls 6 & Under 25 Free                -14.79

Chance Gillespie (6)       Boys 6 & Under 25 Free                -13.47

I want to thank all of the volunteers, parents and swimmers for hanging in there through all the delays.

I especially want to express my thanks to all the volunteers who filled their positions all night! As this was my first ever delay - I promise if that ever happens again I will work out the mid-meet swap out.  I had no idea we would be swimming until 11 PM.  At each meet so far, I have had many volunteers that were not working at the time come up and ask if there is anything I need. You do not know how much I appreciate that, and the fact that I have not needed to use many of them is a testament to all the volunteers that signed up, showed up, and were where they needed to be without me even asking.   

Tremendous job by all the Lee’s Hill Lighting swimmers and volunteers!! Well Done!

I will be sending out an e-mail tomorrow with regard to Monday’s July 1^st - HOME meet (yes there are only 4 days until our next meet) and any volunteer positions that might still need to be filled, and the meet schedule. For those volunteers that were signed up to work the second half at Spotswood and did not get your chance to volunteer – let your conscience be your guide if any positions need to be filled at any future meets.

See you at the pool!

Go Lightning!
