We are going to be hosting a team dinner in the hotel lobby at the Embassy Suites Saturday after the Finals session. Please come join us! We will make arrangements with a few parents (hopefully willing to help orchestrate this) and have the lobby ready for any attending Hurricanes attending the meet! We will likely make a list of names present and partaking and split the bill accordingly afterwards. If you have any questions about this, please reach out and we can provide answers before Saturday night.
This is going to be an awesome team experience this weekend! I hope everyone is looking forward to it as much as I am. Please remember to bring your Hurricanes gear and encourage your swimmer to sit with their teammates on deck and actively cheer on their teammates!
I know there is a ton of info here, and man do I hope I got everything. So if you have questions, feel free to email or come find me on deck tonight/tomorrow.
Thanks
Jordan
