Thank you EOMAC for making our meet such a huge success! We had about 235 swimmers and enough food feed 3 times that many. Aside from the great swimming and the great food, lots of great people helped make the meet run very smoothly; special thank you to everyone who helped in every facet of the meet. Few clubs have as strong a membership as we do that can host a meet of this size, in 2 pools simultaneously!! I hope everyone enjoyed the meet as much as I did and are proud to be part of a great club.
