Hello Raleigh Rays,

I'm excited to announce we continued the season with another win against Coachman's Trail with a final score of 264.5-217.5! Kids will get a chance to throw me in the pool again tonight around 7pm.

I am SO proud our swimmers, we had so much improvement again at last night's meet.  I want to shout out the entire 6 and under age group, we had very few swimmers needing assistance to make it to the 15m mark, they've come so far in just the last week already! We had 115 total improvements, at a rate of 43% as a team. 

Congratulations to Gigi Dock on a NEW Girls 11-12 50 Fly LT Raleigh Rays Record of 35.76 (previously 41.07)

Congratulations to 11-12 Girls 200yd freestyle relay (Lillian Brewer, Gianni Greenup, Josie Penner, Gigi Dock) on a new LT Raleigh Rays Record of 2:23.56 (previously 2:44.25)

Congratulations to the following swimmers who improved in ALL of their events: 

Annabelle Caldwell, Lennon Chidester, Penelope Hibbett, Giana Hill, Jackson Jimenez, Max & Mia Massogo, Mila Papineau, Caleb Livesay, Madeleine Penner, and Saige Thornton

Congratulations to the following swimmers who improved in all but one of their events: 

Lillian Brewer, Bennett Dobslaw, Ellie Frederick, Gianni Greenup, Ian Grider, Henry Hutton, Theo Liddle, Emery Owens, Lucas Palffy, Ryan McQuinn, Liam Pellegrino, Ada Pires, Ayden & Charley Speight, and Herad Tabakh

Looking ahead...

1. We will begin Ray of the Week awards this week; this will highlight swimmers in each gender/age group who have demonstrated great sportsmanship towards both our own and opposing teams, drive to improve their strokes during practice, and listening to the coaches directions.
2. Next meet... 6/23 HOME vs. Manchester. Entries will close at 11:59pm Sunday night. If you do not register as attending I cannot guarantee your child will be able to swim on meet night. Please remember the options for no relays, no early relays, and no late relays depending on your individual schedules.
3. We will be taking a TEAM PICTURE prior to the meet next Tuesday. As the home team we will begin warmups at 5pm with the 8 & under's swimming first, we will be taking the team picture at 4:45pm.

As always, if you have any questions please reach out to me at [email protected] and if you cannot do your volunteer shift next Tuesday evening please reach out to [email protected]!

GO RAYS,

Coach Sean :)
