FOST News

Hello All,

What a bunch of great swims today at Pentathlon!! Our FOST swimmers made a 13 hour swim day very rewarding. Our team was represented extremely well today.

On another note, FOST Head Coach Tiffani Cruz unexpectedly resigned from her position yesterday after our meet with Spring Cypress, effective immediately. This was a surprise and a total shock to all of our board. She was not asked to, pressured, or forced to step down or resign, this is her decision solely. We have accepted her resignation, and wish nothing but the best for Coach Tiffani.

Moving forward, practices will continue as scheduled tomorrow with Coach Michelle Rose assuming the head coach role. Brianna and Keith will be assisting her to get our swimmers ready for our Divisional meet (please get those stroke requests done by Tuesday at noon.) I have met with Coach Michelle and Coach Keith today and they are excited for this weeks practices to get underway. A recap of this week’s themes are: Monday ‘Merica, Tie Dye Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Favorite Team Thursday, and FOST Black Green Friday!!

Tomorrow night we will be having our Pep Rally//Pot Luck at the pool from 6-9 pm. We will be enjoying each other’s company, and giving out our Cudathon awards. We did raise the Cudathon donation minimum to $40 to get a shirt, however, we have received a lot of feedback from enough families to reduce the amount back to $25. Our goal was to raise $10,000 for pool heater for next April’s early season swim….but the board doesn’t want to exclude any of our hardworking Cudathon swimmers because of this donation. If you have donated $40 already, we will gladly refund the $15 to you. (please see Treasurer Lori Gonzales). Tomorrow night at the Pep Rally is the last night to donate $25 to get an awesome Cudathon shirt.

If your swimmer has qualified for a post season invitational (Ponderosa, All-Stars, or Red White and Blue)…we must have your $ by the end of our Divisional meet next Saturday evening at Klein Collins. The entries can be done from your computer. Each race entered will cost $5. FOST will cover all relay expenses.

Our incredible season is winding down, and I want to encourage all Barracuda swimmers to finish strong.

Phil Sommer
FOST President
