TXLA Meet Wrap-Up Nov 18, 2021

November 18, 2021

The meet this past weekend at UT was nothing short of stellar. Time flew off the board (as you’ll see from our list below). Biggest take away from the coaching crew is our growth in culture. The cheering, the energy, the excitement – it was wonderful. We raced with Nitro-infused confidence and passion. The team cheered for each other, got loud for their friends, and brought the A game every time they stepped on the blocks. Leaders were embracing and taking ownership of new roles and helped pave a path to success. Everyone has something they learned, something they’re proud of, and something they can improve. Meets are supposed to be a celebration of the hard work, energy and purpose we put in at each practice. This past weekend was a time drop party and a half.  Read more here…
