Great meet on Saturday against Mt. Vernon!! Final Score: Yonkers Tsunami: 274, Mt. Vernon: 252. I will check for new records this week. Thank you to all parent volunteers!!! Mike McNamara was the winner of the 50/50 and has graciously given it back to the team. Thank you Mike!

Several relay members were missing at the end of the meet on Saturday. I ask that the swimmers do not get dressed until the conclusion of the meet. We can't miss these races!Congratulations to everyone who has been working really hard these past few months.

We're off to a fantastic start as we head into the conclusion of thefirst half of our season. Keep it up!
