2015 CHAMPS RESULTS w/ CPSL and Team Records

Our Welch Sharks had a very active and productive final two weeks of the 2015 CPSL swim season.  We may have not had the most team points in our back to back TUE/THU match-up against our friendly rivals from SPRA, but we had a number of our swimmers stand out by setting new WELCH TEAM RECORDS.  We also had several SHARKS break both WELCH and CPSL records at this week’s season ending CHAMPS meets.

First let’s recognize and congratulate the new WELCH individual and relay team record holders with a regular season summary of new Welch records.

We still need some Welch Parents to help with seeding/seating and scores/awards.  Welch is the only team presently NOT TO FILL ITS VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT.  Please step up to volunteer for your last chance of the season.  Thanks

One last time....Please

We can do this!

Parents we have received notification that we need to have our volunteer list in by noon today. I know some of you say you’ll wait until the meet to see where help is needed, and that’s great, but today we need to know beforehand. We need volunteers to help with Seeding and Scoring for both first and second half.

This is the last meet, until next summer, that we will ask you to put one last good effort in. We don’t like to beg but we really do need to be good role models to our swimmers and show we put in as much effort as they do. Incentive might be over for this season but we will put your name in the pool towards next season. 

Sun might not be shining right now, but it will be nice and bright this evening. Get your swimmers ready because I know our coaches are ready to go.

CHAMPS (10 & Under) - Welch Parent Volunteers (8 needed)

Welch Sharks Parents, we are 2 days from the start of CHAMPS-littles (age 10 & under) at Penns Valley (Millheim – Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Park).  We need to fill 8 more of our required Welch Parent Meet Volunteer spots.  Nice work, but we still have “miles to go before I sleep or is it 23 miles until we swim at CHAMPS (10 & under)?” ...it's both -- see Google Maps ;-)

Unlike a regular season meet which uses two (2) timers and records the average of the two (2) watch times per lane, a CHAMPS meet uses three (3) timers with the recorded time being the watch time that is between the upper and lower watch times.  Let’s fill these Welch Parent positions and root on our younger Sharks to have a great CHAMPS meet.

• 2015 CHAMPS Littles (10 & Under) TUE 7/30 at Penns Valley (Millheim) - Parent meet volunteer sign-up

Let’s try and fill these Welch Parent Meet Volunteer positions before WED (7/29) and then be able to focus our undivided attention to root on our Welch Shark Swimmers.

Directions to the Penns Valley Pool (estimated travel time = 34 minutes):

From Welch Pool, State College – Continue on S. Atherton St.(Rt. 322-business) towards and into Boalsburg.  Make a LEFT onto Rt.45 EAST (Earleystown Rd.) at the traffic light nearest Kelly’s Steak House and Boalsburg Motor Cars.  Continue 18.7 miles on Rt. 45 in to the town of Millheim.  The Milllheim Pool at the Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Park is located just off Park Road in Millheim, PA.  From the intersection of Routes 45 and 445 (aka North Street) in downtown Millheim (zip 16854) head EAST on Route 45 until you cross the bridge. Park Road is the first LEFT after the bridge. Follow Park Road until you see the park entrance on your left.

GO WELCH SHARKS!

CHAMPS (11 & Up) - Welch Parent Volunteers (7 needed)

CHAMPS - Team Warm-up Times:

• TUE (7/28) - AT SPRA - BIGS ages 11 & Up:  Team warm-up time = 5:20 to 5:40pm
  Swimmers please arrive between 4:45 and 5:00pm for check in.

Welch Sharks Parents, we are several hours from the start of CHAMPS-bigs (age 11 & up) at SPRA and we almost have all our CPSL required Welch Parent Volunteer spots filled.  Nice work, but we still have seven (7) more to go that I’m confident that we can fill by NOON TUE.

Unlike a regular season meet which uses two (2) timers per lane and records the average of the two (2) watch times, a CHAMPS meet uses three (3) timers with the recorded time being the watch time that is between the upper and lower watch times.  Let’s fill these Welch Parent positions and root on our Sharks to have a great CHAMPS meet.
