McNeil Swim & Dive Booster club meeting 1-7-19

McNeil Swim & Dive Booster Club Meeting – 1/7/19     6:00 p.m. 

Attendees: 

Coach Foss,  J. Wilson, B. Wilson, J. Hancock, J. Moran, E. Buchanan, K. Mashburn, B. Bibb, D. Trevino,  M. Harris, J. Estes, A. Escherich, K. Shomper, D. Hess,  S. Frangenberg,  H. Freeman

 

Agenda:

1. RRISD POOL! – Dwayne Weirich, RRISD Athletics director has reached out to swim coaches for input that only coaches would know. 

2. Booster balance- might end the season with a very healthy budget of about $4500. We’re looking to spend money on this group of kids. From the swim a thon, with a goal of $249 per swimmer, 42 athletes raised an average of $303. 

3. Girls suits : 4 never picked them up, 2 broke, 13 say “it fits”. Foss is still in touch with D & J and trying to come up with a resolution, especially for seniors who are finishing up at McNeil. 

4. Winter training attendance. 96% attendance this year. The kids are ready for Championship season!

5. District dinner : Friday, January 25th at Abigail Scrugg’s house. She is supplying the pasta and bread, etc. We have the few other things for her (bottled waters, plates, silverware – leftover from breakfasts) There isn’t a need for a sign up this year. Haircuts are not required of any swimmer- training and racing are. Parents, please check in with your swimmer on this subject before the dinner. Parents are welcome to attend and come to watch the haircutting festivities.

6. Districts: Saturday, January 26. Timed finals at UT. T-shirts & swim caps for swimmers have been ordered by Foss. Swimmers will be asked for some $ towards these so that Foss falls within UIL guidelines on how much he can “gift” to swimmers (monetary amount). With the new district alignment, some relays may be fighting to get 5th or 6th to advance to regionals. District limits 4 swimmers/event, so not all swimmers will be competing, but all swimmers (grades eligible) will attend & travel on bus. Top 6 in each event will advance to regionals. The swimmers on relays at districts won’t necessarily be the swimmers on those relays at regionals. 

5. Regionals: Prelims-Friday, February 1 & Finals- Saturday, February 2, Mansfield, TX. There is only one week between districts and regionals. Friday session starts early, so swimmers attending will travel up Thursday afternoon on charter bus. The district covers expenses for 3 charter buses (between the 5 high schools), hotel, meet fees, and some food. We will be waiting to see how many swimmers the other schools have going & then find out how we can split buses, how we might share, etc. Regionals are the same weekend as BB Champs so some swimmers might talk with Foss early about which meet to attend if they are listed as an alternate for a relay, but likely won’t swim. Foss can list up to 8 kids per relay and then decide on relay at meet. Estimates 20-24 swimmers attending Regionals. 

6. Swim Banquet- Wednesday, April 10, Fern Bluff community center. Senior parents are coordinating decorations, cake, etc. Scruggs and Bates families are coordinating food. At the new venue, we will be responsible for setting up and tearing down all furniture, chairs, etc, so they will need some help on that end. RSVP from families will be asked for 2 weeks in advance for food. 

7. Miscellaneous: Senior parents will “cup the fence” on Thursday evening, January 24. (contacts-Hess & Shomper). Regional bag tags (Hess), posters for swimmers (Freeman) are being worked on. The bus will be decorated (very quickly) that day before the swimmers load up. Anyone wanting to help, we meet in the horseshoe parking lot on Thursday, January 31, before the bus arrives. “Goodie bags” for Regional swimmers will be coordinated by Kara Shomper (as it gets closer & numbers are known).

Meeting adjourned 6:35 p.m.

2018-2019 McNeil Swimming & Diving Roster

Mighty Maverick Nation!!!  It was an honor to have so many fantastic individuals with such impressive talent show up interested in representing McNeil High School in this year's UIL competitive season.

Please understand that the selection process is extremely difficult and is one that is not taken lightly.  Everyone who showed up has obviously spent many years working on their craft of swimming.  If you happened to not have made the roster this year, I recommend you continue to swim with a local year round program and tryout again next year.  Thank you to everyone for their interest in our program and congratulations to the 2018-2019 McNeil Varsity Swimming & Diving Team!!!
