We're bringing Rabbit to Champs!

Just kidding.
She has extra toes, and people would probably make fun of her. And that would not be nice.

She will have to cheer from home.

Home, Sweet Home.

Big Dan P is another McD HOF candidate.

Former school record in the 500, 1000, 1650, both IMs, and a tie for the 2fly. He may have had the 2back.

He was a multiple conference champion, with multiple B cuts under his belt, and he earned all of it.

McD HOF candidate?

Justin A.
Herm
BR school record holder.

As a HS senior a CC school told him he wasn't fast enough.
Some of the best advice I ever gave a swimmer... 'Just #&+@$ race'
FR year? He won the 100.

Who said, 'some create art, and the rest have to buy it'

The conference meet starts tomorrow.
First person to come to mind?
Emma D... the first recruit to tell me she was coming to McDaniel.
She liked to give others the opportunity to lead workouts.
Come champs and she was a total Bad-Ass.
Conference champion. School record holder.

Lyndsey S. had a baby boy!
Mom passes mitochondria to son?
That young man was born with a little extra.
Lyndsey was the first athlete I coached to Trials.
She used to swim national cuts in workout.
Favorite set? 5k breaststroke.

A few years before Bryan O. qualified for the US National JR Team he broke six US age group records.

Interesting set I watched him swim?
3x 800back, neg split and descend. 8:14 (4:08/4:06) on #3.

Pool records in the 1650 (12yo at the time) and the 400im (14yo).
Good times.

Two days after Brian C. qualified for the USA Jr. Team he shattered his arm.
A year and a half of work to get back to the water.

U of Texas. All-American. D1 team champions.
Every year he comes back and shares a few things with the swimmers.
He always starts with 'Eddie says'

Home, Sweet Home!

Two swimmers trained in this tank and went on to qualify for the US Jr. National Team.
One Brian, and one Bryan. Two great stories.

Representing your country sounds like a good time.

A few months before sharing the valedictorian award with Sarah, Brad Brooks won the Elite 90 award.
The Elite 90 is awarded to the athlete with the highest GPA at D3 Nationals.

Not too shabby.

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

I would listen to Sarah Blonder. She was valedictorian.
Of course she had to share the honor with Brad Brooks. He was also a swimmer.
Two swimmers
Two valedictorians
Same year.

Kinda cool.

Alexander Rivero represented Bolivia at the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.
Where did he train? At the Harlow Natatorium.

He was a stud on the wheels.

What will they come up with next?

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

Home, Sweet Home!

Eight Olympic Trials qualifiers came out of these five lanes.
Two of them started in our lessons program.
Four of them have their name on the boards.

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

A Favorite.

Also pictured: Syd Knadler.

Syd penned her name on our record board a few times, and won two Conference titles.
Despite her gripes about the color of paint she did alright.
A great human being.

Home, Sweet Home.

We had an Olympian work her way from this pool to the 2012 team.

Suzanne Stettinius. Modern Pentathlon

And no, canoeing is not one of the five disciplines.

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

Among many, my wife's latest contribution.
A beautiful human being.

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

Just too many questions.
After inspecting should I be concerned with the results? Or just sign away?
Is this the Inspection Card, or Test Record?
And if it is the Test Record, is it better than Sgt. Pepper's?

[McDaniel Swimming @McDanielSwim]

@PaulYetter Wait until the kid is with the parent and then start talking about the importance of good dental hygiene.

Abby is calling for BOGO wheels this morning.
Silly swimmer, wheels are like Vitamin C.
