Sunflower League Snacks

Sunflower league is here!  We want to make sure our Raider swimmers have all of the fuel they need to swim their best, and these meets can run long.  Please sign up to provide a snack basket filled with pre-packaged goodies for the boys.   We ask that you fill a basket/cooler with individually packaged items such as granola bars, apples, popcorn, chips, bananas etc.  Cooler can be dropped off with the team in the stands at SMSDAC, or sent with your swimmer.  Contact us if you need additional arrangements for delivery, we are happy to help!

“The boys did a great job! Lots of season best times, and some personal best times, so proud of where these boys are and how hard they are working!”

~ Coach Berg

SMSD Invite Results 1-22-22

The Raiders showed a lot of grit and grind in the pool this weekend at the SMSD Varsity Invitational, putting up some of their career and season best times. Leading the way was Grady O’Connor taking first in the 100 free and 2nd in the 200 free.  Ryan Owens clinched a consideration time in the 100 fly. The 200 and 400 relays consisting of O’Connor, Guthrie, Owens, Glennon, and Barreca had season best times and the 200 medley of Hopkins, Beach, Mayabb, and Owens earned state consideration. Our tiny but mighty team took 9th overall in a large and tough field of competition. The guys are back in the water tomorrow for their final dual against the SM North Bison.

Timers:  A BIG thank you to everyone who stepped up to help time at the meets this week!  We are still looking for 1 more volunteer timer on Thursday, 1/20/22.

Boys Swim & Dive 2021/2022: Timers Needed (signupgenius.com)

Team apparel:  Personalized swim caps are still in production per Swim Quick.  We were told yesterday 1/13 that it will be another 2-3 weeks until they are ready, and because the caps are already in production it is too late to cancel.  We voiced our displeasure.  Feel free to reach out to Swim Quick if you would like to do the same.  Team shirts have all been distributed.  If your swimmer/diver still does not have one, please contact us.

MLK Service Project

We are asking that the boys clean out their closets to donate gently used and clean clothing to the Shawnee Mission Clothing Center.  Teenage clothing is always a great need, along with donations of new socks and underwear in all sizes.  The SMSD Clothing Center is a shop-like resource that offers free used clothing and shoes to residents within the SMSD boundaries.  We will coordinate a time (after practice) when the boys can drop the donations off.  By fostering a culture of service to others our boys will be developing character both in and out of the pool!
