With three days to go until A10's today was the last official day off for the squad before we leave on Tuesday. About 9 or ten of the boys showed up at Boyden for the optional loosen up at 12:30 before I left. The gang looks loose and confident as we focus on winning our 10th title in 13 years. Our motto for the season has been 'The Perfect Ten". As usual a very strong St. Bonaventure squad will be our biggest challengers next week.
Highlights from last week's final preparations had to include the great swimming of our sprinters. Both Juan Moliere (:20.57) and Nate Bromage (:20.89) swam hand-held lifetime bests...indicative of some great swimming to come. The pace work of all the distance lane and our strokers has been looking awesome also. I sat in on yesterday's diving pratctice and the spinning and twisting was ending up in rip -city entries.
We're all pumped up to do it for the UMass alumni and keep the title in Amherst. I'll try to blog every day after each session just to update people on the inside story!!
