A Special Thanks…….

Coach Sheri, Coach Dana & Coach Stoddard would like to express our special thanks to all those who helped to make our annual Arizona Dual Meet Championship Trip such a success. We (a team of 120 members) were Second to Curl Burke (a team of 600 +) for the first time in 4 years. Our hats off to all swimmers who traveled, competed, cheered and were such ‘Great Team Players!’ Can’t wait to do it again next year!!!!

Special thanks to…..

• As always we could not get where we need to be without “Sal” our ever present and enormously supportive Bus Driver. Special thanks to him and Ebmeyer Bus Company! Also, special thanks to David (the manager) of La Quinta fame who makes our trip work by blocking out rooms in advance to make sure we get what we need!
• Little did she know when she took over the ‘managerial’ position from Lisa Pedote what was in store for her….we thank Anne Lepesant for her tireless work in arranging the hotel rooms, the bus schedule, all of the meals, the movies, advance paperwork help at the meets and the Scratch meeting.
• The Montoya Family (Yanira & Pedro) for donating all of the water for the swimmers. We couldn’t have done it without you!!!
• The Mass Family (Micki & John) for providing Bagels for our swimmers after warm-up to fuel our team for competition. Again, we couldn’t have done it without you!!!
• The Mass Grandparents (Micki’s parents) for providing money to help purchase the popcorn and snacks for our swimmers when they went to the movies!!! 
• Larry Gray & John Mass for their “laundry” work in making sure our swimmers had dry towels for each of their meets. What a difference it made!
• Bob Bell for monitoring study halls, for being in charge of swimmer assignments at the meet and for his valuable charts which help immensely at the Scratch meeting to get as many swimmers into finals as possible!
• Xochi Zavala, Suzanne Hepner and Maria Escheverria for their help on the bus with our swimmers as well as sorting and preparing our swimmers awards!
• Tom Tsai for his 6^th and last array of ‘official’ Arizona Team photos. We thanks you immensely and will be looking for a new ’official’ team photographer for in the future!
• The following parents who helped out as with our swimmers from chaperoning a room, to help with study hall, to making sure our swimmers were where they were supposed to be at all times.
