Divisionals
Divisionals will be held at Sudley this year. Important things to note:
- There will be no drop off of tents or children on Saturday. Lancers will be setting up in the parking lot as we did for our dual meet with Sudley. Remember, we will be sharing this space with the Kingsbrooke team! You may set up your tent in the parking lot after 8:00 on Friday night.
- Unless you have received a parking permit, you must park across the street in the mall parking lot and walk over.
- Deck access is restricted to volunteers and we ask that you honor this – it enables the meet to run more smoothly. Parents will be allowed to stand on the side by the baby pool and on the deck at the shallow end of the pool in order to take pictures or film swimmers (you can’t camp out there, though!)
- Lancer arrival time is 6:20 am. Remember, if you do not arrive in time for warm-ups, you risk losing your relay spot.
- The Lancers will have a white tent set up in the parking lot at the entrance to the clerk of course area. This is where all Lancer swimmers will meet when their events are called before going into the clerk of course area under the pavilion. This is also the spot where all Lancer Relays will meet.
- Sudley takes great pride in the appearance of their pool. Lancers will not be permitted to throw confetti, spray silly string, or use any kind of body or hair paint.
- Directions to Sudley: 8613 Rixlew Lane, Manassas, VA 20109, 703-368-5931
From the pool:
· Turn right onto Old Bridge Road
· Old Bridge Road will turn into Prince William Parkway
· Stay straight on Pr. William Parkway
· Once the parkway crosses Liberia Avenue, it becomes Wellington Road
· Stay on Wellington (you will cross Rt. 234, go over RR tracks, cross Rt. 28, cross Godwin Drive)
· After crossing Godwin Drive, take the next right onto Rixlew Lane (yes, you have to cross railroad tracks again).
· Sudley is located on the right across the street from the J.C. Penney’s parking lot (there is a traffic light in front of the pool).
· REMEMBER to park in the mall parking lot (on the left).
T-Shirts
Divisional T-Shirts have arrived. If you ordered some and haven’t yet picked them up, please see Lancermom tomorrow morning. There are no extras!
Banquet – this Sunday at 1:00!!
The Lancer Banquet will be held on Sunday, June 26th. Everyone should have already received an evite to the banquet. Please be sure to respond. We will be having Chik-Fil-A again this year. (A word of caution to those with peanut allergies: I am told that this chicken is cooked in peanut oil.)
Please bring the following to correspond with the first letter of your last name:
A-C Please bring bread
D-M Please bring side dish with serving utensil
N-Z Please bring dessert with serving utensil
We also need volunteers to help with set-up, take-down, serving and decorations. If you are willing to help, please indicate so when you reply and we will contact you with more details.
Lost and Found
Found Items:
1. There is a large box of clothing and miscellaneous stuff in the Lancer Shed.
2. Coach Kristen found a pair of black Masterlock keys lying on the grass at the pool one day. Please see her if these belong to you.
3. She also has a bag of caps and goggles.
