Goodbye to Summer
by Terri Stauffer-Schmidt
We said goodbye to summer this year at the 2024 Ron Johnson Invitational Swim Meet. It was unusually warm for late October. But it didn’t distract anyone from another amazing year of great swims and fun times.
A huge shoutout to Swim Devil’s Masters for hosting this meet and to our race director and Swim Devil – Katy James.
Teams were scattered around the three pools attempting to stay out of the sun. Swimming your event was a chance to cool off.
A HUGE Thank you to the officials for their time volunteering and keeping the events moving. Thank you also to all the ASU students who helped keep times.
