El Paso Invitational 6/21
Clif waited around after the meet on Saturday to collect everyone's ribbons and trophies. He learned that we got 4th place (after year's of 2nd's behind Greater Peoria Family YMCA). He said the margin between 2nd, 3rd, and 4th was around 7 points...like 567 El Paso, 564 Pontiac, 560 Lexington. But, then this morning I found this out...
Lexington got 2nd place at the El Paso Invite!!!
Apparently, El Paso accidentally scored two of the adult events which made the scores off. So, El Paso will bring the third place trophy to Pontiac at the Pentathlon and then Pontiac will give us the second place trophy at the Pentathlon. El Paso actually ended up in fourth.
GREAT JOB LAKERS! :)

You need to reply if you will NOT attend the meet. The Lexington Park District pays for each swimmer to swim and the cost is $16 for 4 events. If you do not let me know that you are not swimming or if you say you are swimming and do not show up, you will have to pay the $16 to the Park District.
T-shirts: If you want a t-shirt for $10, please bring your check ASAP! The t-shirts cost $10 per swimmer. The Park District does not pay for this. You need to get a check made payable to El Paso Recreation for $10 by Wednesday, 6/11 at 12:00! Note - The t-shirts will not be personalized as in years past!
