Well, the Seahawks had a busy and productive weekend!!  Starting on Saturday, the swimmers lined up against Long Branch, another tough divisional opponent.  In a hotly contested matchup, with the lead seesawing back and forth, LB won the last two relays (events 49 and 50), but came up just short, as the Seahawks came away with a 405-367 win.  The halftime score was 208-203, with both teams really giving their all.

On Sunday, Kemp Mill played the gracious host to Division "M" for the Relay Carnival.  A tip of the hat to Mary Crawley and her crew for doing her usual outstanding job of meet management - the meet ran like a fine Swiss watch!  Mary, please don't retire!!!  In the water, the Seahawks got off to a fast start, with wins in Event 1 - Boys 175M Graduated Freestyle, and Event 3 - Mixed 15-18  200M Freestyle, and never looked back.  The Seahawks ended up with 9 Firsts and 7 Seconds out of the 22 events on the schedule.  The swimmers were just outstanding and showed great sportsmanship.  The Carnival is a fun meet for all the teams, are we were very happy to be participating.  Final scores:  FO - 234, WW - 156, JC - 144, LB - 140, EG - 120, KM - 82.
