A BELATED YET SINCERE "THANK YOU!"

The Neptune Challenge was a great success for our swimmers and team!  Congratulations to all the swimmers who achieved JO cuts and personal best times!  A heartfelt "thank you" to all who so generously donated their time and talents to make this meet a great one.  From the coaches who tirelessly motivated and cheered on our swimmers to the swimmers themselves who stayed beyond their sessions to time, do ribbons, and cheer on their teammates--we are all very grateful for your help.  So many parents went above and beyond what was asked by helping out during extra sessions--some attending ALL five sessions to get the jobs done. You know who you are and we sincerely give you the biggest of "thank you".  An extra special "thank you" must be acknowledged to Michele Santer for her tireless dedication to organizing and running this sanctioned meet--all the way from Delaware at that!  Many thanks also to Paula Cifelli for her efforts and those of the generous senior Mrs. Cifelli for the fabulous Hospitality area they ran for the coaches and officials.  Your hard work and delicious meals were truly appreciated by those working the meet. As always, Lori Jackson did a superb job with the concession area!  There were several new families who really stepped up to the plate--especially the new 8 & Under parents SUPER JOB! 

Again, to ALL a very sincere THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

2008 MA Mini Champ (8 & Under) Entries are due by 3/5. Contact Coach Dimitar for additional information!

Josh and Thien win High Point Awards at Junior Olympics!

      I would like to congratulate the entire team for a fine season. Traveling to GCIT under the nasty weather conditions was made much easier through the amazing performances of our swimmers. ACAC placed 5th as a team out of a field of 62 teams! On his way to winning Senior Men High Point, Josh Wakeley took 7 Gold Medals breaking a JO meet record on the last night in the 1650 freestyle. Thien Le broke a meet record on the first night in the 9-10 500 Free and at the end of the four days of competition won the 9-10 Boys High Point. Isaiah Jackson, Thien Le, Mark Pino, and Peter Wakeley combined their performances to take the 9-10 Boys Age Group High Point Team Title.

     Top 16 Finalists from our team include: Thien Le, Josh Wakeley, Bethany Wakeley, Hannah Wakeley, Frank Pino, Chelsea Martin, Rosemary Christian, Gustav Zwilling, Andrea Williams, Matt Galloway, Colleen Callahan, Wali Toulson, Isaiah Jackson, Peter Wakeley, Laura Morrison, Erik Conover, Kevin Cain, Anthony Cox, Jennifer Gosman, Kelsey Tierney, Bridget Keough, and Ayana Cox.

     Our Junior Olympic team also included: Charmaine Chew, Erin Curry, Ayana Cox, Jane Mittelman, Jennifer Gosman, Sally Hu, Mark Pino, and Hector Alvarez. Many of these swimmers performed well with many of their times being their personal best.

     There were so many fantastic swims that you can check yourself from the results link that you can access from our website. The March Madness Meet at E.H.T. will be ACAC’s last short course meet for the Winter Season. This swim meet will be held on March 31st at E.H.T. High School.
