Red vs. White

Today the team was divided into 2 different teams and we had a sprint meet! We even had a certified swim official. The team made up their own team name and team cheers. Below are some pictures and videos throughout the meet. Thank-you to our Team Manager, Chelsea, for taking all the pictures.

Bloody Red Barons (Red Team) and White Tigers (White Team)

Red Team's Cheer - you must look very close at the swimmers... they are in drag!



At the end of each meet the team sings the "Congratulations" Cheer.


We have our first conference dual meet against SUNY IT on Friday, October 30th.

Hill Run

Those of you who have been reading this blog, have read the earlier blog about another team doing a team HILL RUN. Well, yesterday it was a nice enough day that the Wells Swim Team got to enjoy this workout!

The footage is not the best but it is a great view of the lake in the backround!

Hartwick Relays!

This past Saturday was our first meet of the season!!! The team did very well and we are excited for what the season will hold for us in the upcoming meets.

Highlights
* The Men's team broke the 400 Medley record by 9 seconds.
* Gwenn (FR) got a personal best in the 500 free by 7 seconds
* Kelsey (SR) and Tiffany (SR) both took off 2 seconds in their 50 Free
* Dan (FR) was part of the 400 Medley relay plus he is currently on the top ten list in the 50 free (4th) and 100 Fly (2nd)

This is the first year we are giving out "Swimmer of the Meet" and Biggest Time Drop" after the meet. This meet we had 3 winners.


Jackie (JR) had an unfortunate accident the previous weekend and she had to get 32 stitches in her forearm. With some extra wrapping she still swam at this meet. She even swam the 100 Backstroke for the first time! For her efforts in helping the team she was awarded Swimmer of the meet.


Dan (FR) also earned the Swimmer of the Meet award because in his first collegiate swim meet he earned 3 spots in the Men's All Wells Top Ten List including breaking a record.



It was difficult to decide the biggest time drop because we had a few but Carolyn (assistant coach) and I decided it should go to Tiffany (SR) because she took off 2 seconds in the 50 free!

Congratulations to the Wells College Swim Team for an excellent performance.
