High Schools are working out with a few meets between Christmas and New Years, no big Holiday tournaments like Basketball or Wrestling, not sure why that is.

Winona SHS Boys Swimming & Diving will be holding their Annual New Years Day 100x100 swim at 9AM. The event is open to any interested Alumni as well as volunteers. From Coach Burt: On New Years Day at 9:00 a.m. we will swim our 100X100’s event.  Many times alumni swimmers join us in this tradition. Now before you drop in shock at the yardage 100X100 equates too not all swimmers will do the full amount.  The plan is to divide up the pool into 100X100, 100X75, and 100X50 lanes to accommodate the more and less experienced swimmers not to mention physical condition too.  Yours truly will be swimming as far as this old and out of shape body will take him.  The event typically takes up to three hours to accomplish depending on the rep interval.  Along with the swim we try to organize a pot luck lunch and ask the guys to bring along a dish to pass so the swimmers can eat as soon as they exit the water.  The only entrance available to us is the back door leading up to the pool and so I’ll post a coach at the door to ensure everyone gets in.  This is the same door near the trash bins and the maintenance crew entrance. 

Area Colleges will be making their winter treks to warmer climates. They kick off their mid-season INTENSE training before they start to pull things together for the end of winter run to conference and nationals.
