League meet

Its an exciting day for all the boys swimmers in the division 1 red division league today as they take on the final day of the league meet. For many of the boys on the team this is the final meet of their season, the meet they have devoted their time in and have been training for since November. For others this is their last meet before States, almost like a practice of being under pressure and competing against tougher and more competition. Everyone on the team that has not gotten their state cut yet will be striving to get it tonight .at league meet, they are under an enormous amount of pressure because they know this is their last chance for the season. There has been a lot of preparation in the count down to league meet such as taper, dying of hair, and shaving of hair. For taper the practices are a lot easier and they get a ton more rest than usual so they will be rested and ready to swim as fast as they can at league meet. The swimmers also bleach there hair a couple weeks leading up to the big meet this has been a tradition that has gone on for many, many, years. Finally a few hours before league meet they shave off there dyed hair so there is less drag in the pool. Good luck to the boys Blackhawk swimmers today as they break records and get state cuts!
