We started with a morning practice at 10:00 on NRV and much to everyone's dismay the cones were missing. Despite excellent detective work by Caroline no one could figure out where the cones could be. As it turned out, today we were playing 11 a side so the cones were not in high demand. The scrimmage looked pretty good, and everyone was playing with intensity and purpose trying to live up to the 'three pillars of our teams identity' (as Alex phrased it). While there were no goals, we showed a promising start for the season to come and the freshman blended into the team well. However, after the game was done it was time for some fitness. Today was the day for the much dreaded 6 corners; this is when we run around the field six times and increase the distance we sprint each time until we sprint the final lap. Sounds like torture right? As it turned out everyone finished and did well and now we have that behind us.
In the afternoon we had our swim practice or our annual synchronized swimming competition. In this competition each class goes against each other to try and have the best synchronized swimming routine. This year Coach brought in some guest judges to make the results unbiased. Everyone dedicated a lot of time to work on their routines but there could only be one winner. The class of 2011 was trying for their third win in a row, but this year the freshman won with an inspiring performance. The juniors came in second, followed by the seniors and then the sophomores.
After the pool "work out" the team got together to help with Move-In. We, along with other teams and groups from Case help the incoming freshmen lug their stuff to their dorm rooms. We helped many people move in, but Kennedy takes the prize for carrying a T.V. up the stairs to someone's room. At dinner we learned that Caroline, through her excellent deductive skills, had learned that our cones were in the boys locker room. They were promptly retrieved.
