March Madness Swim Meet in March, 2007
SUN Masters will host the March madness Meet at the Long Center. Our group has hosted the Valentine's Meet for many years and our reputation has spread throughout the swimming community. This meet had about 250 participants this year who enjoyed the l super hospitality (free food!) and Meet Director Coach Joe's well run competition assisted by numerous members, friends and family of the SUN team. This year we had to change the date of our event which necessitated a name change too .. hence we now have the March Madness Meet which will take place March 10th and 11th - same Meet Director, same people, same hospitality, same friends and family, same location (the Long Center). The pool is being renovated in the next six months so it should look brighter and shinier and maybe the weather will be that much warmer.!
The LMSC Awards dinner is scheduled to take place that week-end at the Long Center
