Rhodes will swim the Bluff City Blue Fins at the East Memphis YMCA (5885 Quince) for the last dual meet of the season. The heat sheet without the combined events is here, so swimmers can see which events they will be swimming. I will try to post the combined heat sheet early Thursday afternoon, if you want to check back on the blog to print out the heat sheet with the combined events.
Be prepared for the parking situation. Bluff City is asking you to pull in from Quince, drop off swimmers and gear by the pool, then park in a remote lot. They will have parents directing traffic. Try to arrive closer to 4:30 so you have enough time to unload, park, and walk. Also, you may want to bring folding chairs to supplement the bleachers by the pool. We are typically on the south side of the pool.
Bluff City is famous for their BBQ Nachos!
Swim & Have Fun!

CITY MEET EVENTS & GUPPY RESULTS
1. If you are NOT swimming in the meet, please make sure that you have signed the book or contacted Coach Irene. Entries cost $25 per swimmer, so we don't want to write a check for a swimmer with no intention of swimming!
2. To swim in the city meet you must fill out a Memphis Summer Swim League (MSSL) City Championship Registration Form ASAP. If you are unable to fill out the form because you're out of town, let Maria or Irene know.
3. Kids will be allowed 4 individual events at the City Meet. Although coaches will ultimately decide which events your swimmer will best contribute towards the team's overall performance, please let one of the coaches know if you have a preference, so that we can take it into consideration. Entries are due Friday, so let us know as soon as possible.
4. If for some reason you can’t be at practice, email Coach Irene at ihodges@udallas.edu.
5. Rhodes finished the Guppy Meet in 5th Place with 411 points behind Bluff City, Colonial, Memphis Country Club, and Ridgeway and ahead of Windyke, UClub, Racquet Club, Germantown CC, and Chickasaw. Congratulations to Sydney Srnka and Grace Beaumont for bringing home high point trophies in their 7/8 age group. Sydney was 2nd place with 55 points. Grace was 3rd with 49 points. Standard Breaker ribbons will be distributed with City Meet ribbons & medals at the Awards Cook-out. Here are the Guppy Meet Results. Yay, Rhodes!

Guppy Meet Heat Sheet
Print out Heat Sheet is here. Heat sheets will not be for sale at the meet.
(Note: Bluff City published a revised Heat Sheet which is posted here. If you logged on earlier, there were enough changes to warrant an update. This is the version you need).
Warm up at 6:00pm, meet begins at 6:30pm.
Meet is at the East Memphis Y.
It looks like the meet will last about 2 1/2 hours. It will be a lot of fun for the swimmers! We brought home a team trophy last year!!!! :-)
Coach Irene and Coach Karl will be there to help you get to your events.
You might want to bring a chair and some light snacks. They will have concessions there also.
Swimmers who "break the standard" will be given a special award!
Good luck to you all!!!

Thursday's Meet
Good evening!
Here is the Heat Sheet for the meet tomorrow. There will be some events that are combined with others (especially relays and older kids events), so be looking for some changes tomorrow when you arrive at the meet.
We REALLY NEED some more volunteers for this meet. It's our last home meet of the season and we would like to put on a "good show" for our visitors. All the jobs are easy to do, no experience necessary, and you only have to work for 1/2 of the meet. So if you will be leaving early, then you only have to work the first part of the meet. See Tracy Word for job assignments.
For those of you swimming at the City Meet, there are a couple of forms for you to sign before you leave the meet tomorrow night. See Maria Srnka to sign the form!!!!!
That's it for tonight! Let's have a great meet tomorrow night!
Go Rhodes! Beat Chickasaw!!!
See you at the pool

Meet results
You can find the "official" times from Thursdays meet HERE
I have also posted each swimmers season best times (as of July 1). All times are in "meters" not "yards". This is just for your information. Some swimmers like to keep track of how they are improving throughout the summer. You can find that document HERE
TWO THINGS:
1. Remember, Guppy meet entries are due on Tuesday at practice - money and events
2. We need to know this week if you will NOT be here for the City Championship Meet. The entry money is due this week and we don't want to pay for you if you won't be there! If you have already signed the book, we are good! You can always email me at btwcoach@gmail.com
Thanks and have a wonderful 4th of July!!!!

Triple winners
What a meet last night!!!
First of all, congratulations to our triple winners:
Madeline Hayes
Davis McGhee
Claire Pellegrin
Jackson Hayes
Francie Sentilles
Rick Reinhard
Samantha Brown
Laura Mathews
Everyone swam AWESOME!!! We had MANY best times in all events! It was great to see you all get up and COMPETE with those Colonial swimmers!
I think a SPECIAL THANKS goes to Coach Karl for taking on the biggest challenge of all - swimming against Colonial's Coach Korey!!! What a way to end the meet! If you left early and didn't see that race, well, you missed a great event!
The meet was tied at the end of the last race, so we had a coach's race for the WIN!!! And Karl came through for us!
RHODES LYNX - we ARE the best!!!!
I'll post the "official" times tomorrow.
Have a great weekend AND REMEMBER - no practice Monday (Happy 4th!) ALSO - the Guppy Meet entries and money are due on Tuesday at practice!
Thanks
