We are mid-way through the High School Girl's season with Sections and the State Meet coming up next month in November.
The Winona Wizards USA Team is practicing with their first meet coming up in a month.
The YMCA Winfins team is completing their Stroke Clinic and start practices a week from Monday.
Add to that, this week starts the kick-off of the College swimming Season. Winona has graduates swimming at the University of Minnesota (Matt Papenfuss & Abbey Staats), University of Wisconsin Eau Claire (Alyssa Trainor), University of Wisconsin River Falls (Roxy Pingry), and Minnesota State University Mankato, (Mary Bastian).
There will be some other large meets going on to keep note of.
The USA Swimming Gran Prix Series returns this year and again, the first stop is in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota on November 13. With the 2009 AT&T Short Course National Championships taking place on Dec 4th, I suspect there will be some big names competing in Minneapolis. I will watch for the psyc sheet to come out and let you know who is planning on attending. It is a nearby opportunity to take yoru young swimmers to see some great swimming and see some names in the swimming world. In Minneapolis the swimmers are very easy to approach and get autographs from.
I'll follow all of these teams and individuals as best I can to keep you informed on what is happening in Winona swimming, with former Winona swimmers, and with notible USA swimmers. Stay tuned.
