STAR News
5/13/08     Senior II practice on Thursday will occur during the South Blue practice.  Also, please remember that there is no Red, Blue, or Senior practices this Friday or Saturday due to the meet. 
5/12/08     Tonawanda meet information.  All families...On Friday, the 400 IM, 800 free, and the 1500 free will be limited to 48 combined swimmers.  The 3rd and 4th heats will swim together (2 per lane - side by side) and the 5th and 6th heat will swim together (2 per lane - side by side).  The swimmer on the left will start and stay on that side while the swimmer on the right will start about 20-30 seconds later and stay on the right side.  This is a great way to get more kids to compete in longer events due to time constrictions.

The 400 free on Saturday may also be run this way.  Also, we will need 2 timers for each swimmer.  STAR has 27 swimmers competing in the 1500 free so we will need everyone to be ready.  This should be very exciting!

5/12/08     Tonawanda meet start times:
Saturday 12 & Under's 7:00am warm-up 8:00am start
Saturday 13 & over's 11:45am warm-up 12:30pm start
Sunday 12 & Under's 7:00am warm-up 8:00am start
Sunday 13 & overs 11:45am warm-up 12:30pm start
5/7/08     The STAR Banquet this past weekend went great.  I want to thank everyone associated with helping this event go on!  Also, a very special thank you to Mrs. McCauley for everything you did.  You were great!  You can click here to see the pictures from the banquet.  I hope you all had fun!
5/6/08     The STAR meet is just one month away and we will need our families to start signing up to volunteer for the meet.  You can go to the link above in the red box.  This meet is full already and should be a great meet for all the swimmers.  Thank you again for all your help.
