The coaches survived the first trip to Grand Forks for the Eagan High School Girls Swim Team. It began with a bus ride, leaving on Friday morning at 10:00 am. The bus was late, it was a regular day of school and there was a pep fest about to happen for homecoming. It was, to say the least, a lot of kids in a very confined space. It was also raining so we couldn't go outside.
The trip up was uneventful but that all changed as we got to the hotel and ready for our evening. We ordered Pizza and we actually got all the pizza's correctly. Kudo's to the pizza place, that never happens when the pizza count rises above 3.
After pizza it was time to round everyone up and make sure they were in their rooms. The hotel did a nice job of splitting us all up and making it nearly impossible for the coaches to keep tabs on everyone. We saw some peaking around corners at the other end of the hallway, some running out of their rooms because their toilets mysteriously plugged and some who "just wanted to make some popcorn". "GET BACK IN YOUR ROOM".
The meet went pretty well. It would have been a much nicer pool had it been on the MN side of the border. Varsity swam well and took 3rd place. JV did really well and took 2nd by 3 points (I think). There were a lot of time drops and for the most part I think everyone had a lot of fun.
The bus ride back was quiet. Movies were watched, food was eaten in Fergus Falls and songs were sung (and danced to - which the bus driver put a stop to). We returned just as Homecoming was letting out for EHS. I have never seen so many kids walk home from a dance. Strange. It was about 11pm...WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?!?
Great job ladies. Looks like we might make the trip again next year. Go Cats!
