Thursday, Jan. 12 — I’m sitting here going over what happened over the last couple of days and wow… Boring.
There is a declaimer at the beginning of this project that this could delve into the minutia, but there are times that would downright drag me into “really. I’m writing about this.”
Like this post here. There are one or two items to write about, but not much else happened.
Covered the Aberdeen-Black Hills wrestling match and the Bobcats, missing one of their big guns, couldn’t keep up. They also gave up three forfeits, putting them down 12 points before they even started. (Black Hills gave one forfeit back).
Wednesday, Jan 11 — On Monday, one of the other assistant coaches talked to most of the newer swimmers to get the point across that they need to show up to practice – all of them – and support their teammates. On Wednesday, all but a very small handful of swimmers showed up. It worked.
One of the captains noted that this is the first season where you could really tell how much improvement the newer swimmers have shown from the beginning of the season to now. That’s a credit to those guys – they’ve worked very hard and have done everything they’ve been asked to do. Some of those guys are moving up to the faster lanes now, too. That’s gratifying to see. Now, to get them into the district meet…
Also, to acknowledge the veterans, a few of them are very close to getting their trip to the state meet validated. Others are solid in the district meet and there are a few guys who are close to getting in there. The next two weeks are critical. We need to get the yards and the work in to set everything up.
Tuesday, Jan. 11 - Another late night at the office. We’re working through the system and we’re trying a few tricks to get the pages out faster. Everyone is frustrated. Not much else to say on that. It is a work in progress and I’m trying to be patient with myself to get this thing to work – efficiently and effectively.
