2009 Race Wrap-up:

Congratulations to all the athletes that competed in this year's Open Water Swim races, adult triathlon, and our youth triathlon!

We enjoyed great weather, great sportsmanship, and great competition!

Results have been posted, and our photo pages have been updated.  Click on the button to the left of your screen.

I am also so very thankful to all of our fantastic volunteers that helped through out the summer at our Y's 5 out door races.  We were helped by Y Teen Leaders, Y staff, eagle rock residence, professional services from Sugarloaf, Nuremberg, Black Creek, Ryan Township Rescue Divers, Nuremberg-Weston Volunteer Fire Co., and the Nuremberg Community Ambulance Co. 

Our Swim Team parents and swimmers also play a huge role in producing these races.  Watching 8 & unders stuff race packets is a sight to see!

I am grateful for everyone's help and support this Season!  I hope you enjoyed our races as much as I enjoyed organizing them!

Hope to see you next year!

-Rob
