2022 HOKI Thanksgiving Invitational | Short Course

From November 11-13, fifty-six of our swimmers traveled to Christiansburg, VA for the HOKI Thanksgiving Invitational. This was a short course meet held at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center - and one of the largest we've been to in the last several years. Our team swam a total of 258 events over the course of 3 days, 21 of these races were first time swims, and 92 were best times. In addition, a total of 348.64 seconds were dropped!

There was a lot of lavender on deck over the weekend, as well as a giant "Swimming for Sadie" banner the team worked on prior to the meet, in honor of our fellow friend and teammate, Sadie Deeble.
