Thanks to all those volunteers, athletic staff, and parents that made the meet a huge success for both Indiana and Franklin!

We just wanted to take the time to thank all of the parents that worked the Hall Of Fame Meet this past weekend! We know it was a long day, but our kids did awesome and we couldn’t be prouder of the hard work and effort they put in! We received numerous compliments from IHSAA, the Officials and other parents about how everything ran so smoothly and how they enjoyed themselves!

So, thank you for helping!!!!! That meet would not have been possible without all of you!!!!

This week breakfast will be served on Tuesday and Friday 

We are at Plainfield tomorrow night and the dive team competes at Fishers on Saturday! Don’t forget your travel release forms should you want your child to ride home with you after the meet. You may give these forms to one of us or have your child give it to the swim/dive team manager.

GO FRANKLIN!!!
