Until Now…..We just ended our training trip in beautiful Park City, UT. I know most swim teams like to go south to train but we probably ended up having the same weather as in some Florida locations. We had a great week of training and racing!!!! Here are my top six highlights!
#6 – Ruby Tuesdays! The official restaurant of the TCU swimming and diving training trip. They were extremely hospitable and filled our bellies with yummy and delicious food. Thanks Ruby Tuesday!
#5 – Fiesta Bowl! While it didn’t come out with the ending we had hoped for, our football team put up a good fight against a very good team. It was great national exposure for TCU. The team finished #6 in the final season poll. Watch out for the frogs next year they will be a national contender!
#4 – Training hard! The team trained doubles at altitude along with two very important conference dual meets, these kids stepped up to the challenge and did it with a smile on their faces.
#3 – Our amazing Condos! Wow our lodging was first class. Every condo had hot tubs and enough room to fit 10 in some places. I know the swimmers and divers liked sitting in the hot tubs after a tough practice. The mountain views were picturesque and It definitely beat staying in a hotel for a week.
#2 – The nail bitter versus Utah! Both meets were intense! They came down to the LAST RELAY. The men prevailed! The women came so close to upsetting Utah in their home pool. Either way it was the best meet environment I have ever been apart of. The Swimmers and divers put up an amazing effort.
#1 – Until NOW….... We have never beaten BYU on the men’s side UNTIL NOW! The men swam amazing and beat the cougars 172 - 119. The women also had an outstanding meet but BYU was just a little stronger. The men are currently undefeated and have one more conference foe to take down. The Men’s and Women’s team will finish up the dual meet season at TCU vs. UNLV on February 6th.
