We came back a little heavier after a leisurely weekend at home for Thanksgiving. Jon held a short practice on Sunday night in hopes of shedding those unwanted love handles we had developed from eating one too many pieces of pie.

With the upcoming meets at UGA and the University of the South, we backed off a little during the week to give us all a chance to get up and swim fast. A select few were fortunate enough to even have an all out 10-day taper.

Thursday rolled around, and those swimming in the UGA Invite departed for Athens. Our superior motor chariot chauffeured us to the luxurious Holiday Inn Express where we spent the evening relaxing and preparing for three full days of fast swimming.

We went toe to toe with top tier Division I teams from all over the country, and as the weekend unraveled, there were four new varsity records and 56 additional NCAA cuts.

Those who went to the University of the South meet also proved to be successful. Amanda Moser qualified for NCAA's (the first female diver to qualify for quite some time) and those who swam ended the first semester with a bang. Great job everyone!
