FINAL MEET: GRANITE BAY 7 19 14

COACHS CORNER

Hello fellow TAZ,

Another great performance this weekend at College Greens thank you to all the families and swimmers that

came down to Sacramento to compete. They were a lot of good swims this weekend and it showed with the

score - final score was 534-254. The Boys outscored the Girls in the meet 281-242 so this week the bragging

rights go to the Boys.

This week is yet another test against the Granite Bay Gators, who are arguably the second best team in theleague right now, with the second best record. So we need to keep in mind that along with Champs we are

also trying to go for the Dual Meet title again as well.

With Champs only 2 weeks away we need to think about our taper. This week we are cutting out all

extracurricular activities and also shaving yardage off of our sets. Also keep in mind that this week vs Granite

Bay we are expecting times that aren't our best. Your bodies are adjusting to the taper and we may be a little

sluggish against Granite Bay.

I look forward to this week, remember guys only 2 weeks left in the season, I can't believe it has gone by this

fast. See you all on deck and GO TAZ!!!!

HONORABLE TAZ

The following swimmers were caught being honorable this past week!

Abbie Curtisstayed until the end of the meet in case she was needed for the relay. Even after all swimmers

showed up, Abbie stayed and cheered on her teammates.

Cole Tilley and Will Kirkhelped made sure no swimmers jumped into the restricted section of the pool. They

sat under a glaring sun and never complained. They were troopers.

Dean Browerswam an awesome legal Breaststroke race. Not only was it legal, but he swam his race alone and

didn't let his goggles slipping off his face deter him from finishing!

Curtis Seabournewished college green swimmers next to him a good race before it started.

Sonia Chiminioffered her towel to timers on shallow end of pool to dry off the wet seats.

Will Kirkwasn't feeling well at the meet but still stayed and swam the last relay. He also helped keep kids out

of the pool in the triangle so our team would not be DQd!

Jacob Rosales and James Geziswam four laps in the Free Relay without hesitation when two swimmers in

their relay forgot to show up. Jacob also stepped up to be the alternate to complete a relay team for the

Medley Relay race!

Way to go TAZ! Keep up the great attitudes and positive sportsmanship. When you see swimmers doing

amazing things please let us know. Nomination forms are in the blue box at the information table.

Recipients please see a coach to claim your prize during practice this week! Congratulations for being caught

in the act of being honorable!

2014 CHAMPS PROGRAM / AD SPACE

We are excited to offer advertising space again this year in the TAZ Champs Program. Many TAZ families

place ads in the Champs Program to show support for their swimmer(s). The kids LOVE seeing their names

and faces in print! We welcome business ads too! So, if you own your own business this is a great place to

advertise, because the entire TAZ Team will see your ad!!

ALLads are digital this year and must be submitted via email. We are offering two sizing options:

4 x 5 (quarter page ad) $25

7 x 10 (full page ad) $50

Heres how it works:

The TAZ Champs Program will be printed, not photocopied.That means color! Anything goes!! You can use

photos, but make sure that they are bright, clear outdoor shots.

3 Easy Steps:

1. Design ads for your children, grandchildren, siblings, friends or coaches. Ask your friends/family to

advertise also, they can even advertise their business!

2. Save your ad as a PDF or jpeg file and email it to Jennifer Scott atjenniferuscott@gmail.com.

3. Place your payment in an envelope in the Scott family folder.

If you have questions or need help, please contact Jennifer Scott atjenniferuscott@gmail.com

5:00 pm, July 19, 2014 is the deadline to email your Champs Ad to Jennifer Scott!

**One TAZ Champs Program Book will be provided to each family that has swimmer(s) participating in the

Champs Meet.

CHAMPS PARADE and COSTUMES
