SALUKI INTERNATIONAL
Worker Sign Up Form is Now Online
28 APRIL 2008

The parent worker online sign up form for the Saluki International is now active and online. The International is a parent work requirement meet and Saluki families must work 3 of the 5 meet sessions. Families fulfilling the requirement will see their parent work charge refunded either fully or partially.

The International is one of 3 large meets we host at Shea and we urge parents of Saluki athletes to be generous with their time when signing up to work. The success of the meet depends on how much help we have on deck during the event.

Saluki athletes can continue to register to compete in the meet through Saturday, 3 May.

The summer racing season got off to an early start this past weekend when 32 Saluki took part in the Gator Long Course Kick Off. For many on the Racing Team it was their first taste of what it's like to swim in a 50m pool.

In all Saluki turned in 33 improved National Age Group times. The biggest single event drops started with Ashlee Kuan who slashed 46 seconds from her previous 100 fly. She was  followed by Simone Corpora who dropped 39 seconds in her 400 free, and James Medwedeff who dropped 26 seconds in his 100 free.
