Turkey Trot Meet Details

The Turkey Trot is this weekend on Sunday, November 23.  Below are all the details you will need for the meet:

 

Location:

 

Northridge Rec Center, 8800 S Broadway, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126

 

For swimmers who are fairly new to swim meets, please plan to arrive 15 minutes before the start of warm-ups so you can get set up in the gym and be behind the lanes ready for warm-ups before they begin.

 

WE NEED TO PROVIDE 2 TIMERS FOR EACH SESSION.  Please email me if you are willing to grab one of the two spots we need to provide for each session.  If you have never timed before, it is the best seat in the house and very, very, very simple to do.   After the first two heats, you will be a professional.  Having parents fill these spots is a big NEED we have to deliver at various meets throughout the year.  So please consider replying to me right after reading this email and I will confirm if you are in the first two replies "rewarded" with the spot.  Thank you in advance for doing so!

 

We will need to provide two timers to cover Lane 1 for the 12&Under session.

Timers would report for the timers meeting around 8:20am and the session will end at approximately 10:40am

 

We will need to provide two timers to cover Lane 2 for the 13&Over session.

Timers would report for the timers meeting around 12:00pm and the session will end at approximately 1:55pm

 

With Coach Nate's memorial the day before the meet,  we would like to have everyone wear their light purple "Hurricanes Strong" T-shirt for this meet.  If you have not gotten one yet, please head over to the coaches corner at Wulf and grab one for each of your swimmers.  One of our Senior swimmers Harper Adams made these shirts in remembrance of Coach Nate as her high school capstone project.  She fundraised the money for the shirts from other Colorado swim teams.  Many kids were able to collect theirs when they first arrived, but if you haven't yet (especially if you are attending the meet) please pick one up.  They are stacked in sizes:  YM, YL, AS, AM

 

You can access the psych sheet, timeline, and entry report for the meet on our website under the Event Calendar by clicking on the meet name and seeing the attached documents.  Heat Sheets will be made available at the meet so bring a sharpie and we can help get everyone's heats and lanes on their arms!
