TIGERS HOST EAGLES TO BEGIN JUGGERNAUT

Yorktown High School's swimmers hit the water at home tonight for the first time this season. Head Coach Brad Grieshop's girls will be looking for their second dual meet win of 2009-10, the boys their first against Hoosier Heritage Conference rival Delta.

The Tigers should be back to near-full strength now that the Thanksgiving holiday has ended. Several team members missed last Saturday's dual meet at Westfield due to holiday travel and/or illnesses. Their return will bolster Yorktown's much needed scoring depth against the Eagles.

The Delta meet also kicks off a very busy and demanding portion of the season, especially for the athletes who also compete for Yorktown Swim Club. The combined YHS-YSC schedule includes nine competition days in the first 17 days of December. YHS will compete twice this week, three times next week (including the ultra-competitive Homestead Invitational), and top it off by hosting highly ranked Noblesville on the 17th. Throw in YSC's appearance in the FAST meet this weekend, and we're gonna see some very tired swimmers very soon.

So make sure your swimmer or diver is eating right, hydrating often, getting as much sleep as possible, and we'll get them through this challenging stretch.

Tonight's meet begins at 5:15 in the Yorktown High School pool.

GO TIGERS!
