I arrive at the Schwartz building, thinking that Court, Kelsey and myself are going to go over some "captain" details for next year. Next thing I know, we arrive at Carolyn's (assist. coach) house and everyone is there saying, "Surprise"! Because not only did we plan the Secret Santa but they also had planned a baby shower for me.
Carolyn and her husband made breakfast food and we all opened presents. It was a great day!
Below is a picture of one of the things that the team bought for me...

Updates
I'm Back! Well, I haven't really left. The month of November just flew by and I didn't get a chance to update this blog. Here are some of the highlights...
November 4th - William Smith Away Swim Meet
- Sophmore, Jackie had a personal best and took 1st place in the 200 Fly. She also earned the 7th spot on the top ten times.
- Freshman, Drew broke the 200 IM college record - This was the first time he has swum this race in a very long time and he remembered why after the race when he proceeded to lye on the cold, wet deck to catch his breath.
November 12 - Utica - Home
- We did not win this meet but we have improved so much since last year. There was ONLY a 10 point difference on the women's side. Also, on the men's side last year the men had a hard time getting points and this year they earned 29 points!
- Drew broke is own personal record and earned the Wells record in the 200 Free and place 1st at the meet.
- Women's 200 Freestyle Relay finished 1st with Alli (SR), Ashley (SO), Idie (FR) and Jackie (SO)

November 15th - Cazenovia - Home
- The Men's team WON!!! 62-12
- Alli (SR) took over 4 seconds off her life-time best in the 200 freestyle
- At EVERY meet Kris takes off time in his 100 BR and he continued this success by taking off another 2 seconds, placing 1st at the meet and inching closer and closer to the Wells Record! He also proceeded to get the 200 BR Wells Record by 5 seconds!
- Anthony became the first male EVER to swim the 200 Butterfly. It was also his first time too and he placed 1st!
- Idie earned the 7th spot on the all Wells top ten list for 200 BA
November 20th - SUNY Cobleskill - Home
- Women's Team WON!!! 55-24

- Lydia also earned a 1st place in the 100 BR with a personal best time; dropped 3 seconds.
December 6th - Kings - Home
- Final meet for Kelsey (JR-Captain) because she will be studying abroad next semester. She finished off her season very well. Taking off almost a minute in her 1650 since States last year and took off 4 more seconds in her 500 FR. It was bitter sweet because Kelsey was striving to under 7 minutes. We will miss you Kelsey!
- Drew (FR) had a personal best time in the 100 Fly by 2 seconds!
