NEWS FROM COACH BERGMAN:
FRIDAY:
Team dinner - sponsored by Evan Wright. See Evan for
directions. We will eat around 6:15. The event will end
between 9:30 and 10'ish. Plan on attending.
JACKETS FOR
GWOC: I am requiring that ALL Butler athletes
wear our purple warm-up jackets to the league meet on
Saturday. We will look like a unified team when entering
Trotwood-Madison. This goes for Sunday's finals as well.
You do not have to wear the pants, but you must wear the
jacket. There are no exceptions to this policy. If
you never received a jacket for some reason, see me
immediately.
SATURDAY:
Not all are able to participate in the league meet. We just
have too many athletes. I am not forcing non-participants
to attend, but I would really like it if you could.
This shows camaraderie and team unity. The bus is leaving
from the SAC for Trotwood at 11am sharp. Warm-ups are at
noon and we have first warm-ups. The meet begins at 1pm.
It should conclude around 4:30, and we should be back by
5:30. Chris Ralston will be diving at 8am. If you would
like to go early and see him dive, I need a note from your
parents, but you will have to ride the bus back from the
meet.
SUNDAY:
GWOC finals: The bus is leaving at noon for
Washington Township Rec Center. Warm-ups are at 1pm with
the meet starting at 2:30. It should conclude by 6pm and we
should be home by 7.
T-SHIRTS and
SWEATPANTS: If you ordered a boys team shirt,
you need to get $6 to me ASAP. If you ordered sweatpants
(boys & girls), you need to get $19 to me ASAP. These items
will be in on Friday (we hope). You must pay before you
receive them. Checks for these items may be made out to
Butler Athletic Department. Girls order forms and payment
need go to Melissa Greschl ASAP. Butler Swimming
sweatshirts and payment need to go to Zack or Josh Bruggeman
ASAP. The order forms show for whom the check(s) should be
made out for these items. See Melissa if you have not
received order forms for girls items and myself if you need
an order form for team sweatshirts.
