Thursday, April 10 - The 4th Annual Wildcat Classic golf tournament was a great success. We were represented proudley by a few participants (Mr. Balberde, Mr. Nicholas, & Coach Bigus). Mr. Balberde won the "straighest-drive" contest and Coach Bigus won the "long-drive" contest. The team representing swim & dive - Coach Bigus, George Bigus (coach's Dad), Bob Letnik, and Greg Dicks - finished tied for 2nd with a 12-under round of 60, but settled for 3rd after a "match of cards" (tie-breaker) was used. The team representing the golf alumni finised 1st with a 16-under round of 56. Very nice.
Thursday, April 3- Next season's meet schedule is now posted (released April 1). This is a DRAFT & may change when the final version comes out in May. The practice schedule will be posted shortly.
Agenda for End-of-Season meeting - If you missed the meeting we had to wrap up our season, then tisk-tisk, shame on you. But because we want to leave no one in the dark, here's what we discussed. Please read it over & note what changes (there are some notable ones) are in store for the 2008-09 season. Please let Coach Bigus know if you have any questions. He'd also love feedback on how to make the website more user-friendly or attractive.
