Day One (Thurs Oct 7 200):

Today saw the start of IGLA 04. We began the day with Rob B as the first competitor for DSST in the 1500M Freestyle. What a way to celebrate your birthday!

Both Rob and Mike G. were showing their ambitions, swimming both the 1500M and the 800M. Mike was even interviewed after his 800M freestyle event by Q Television. A star is born! The network goes nationwide in November, so we may have some time to wait to see Mikey in his glory.

Speaking of Stars, who took first in her event? None other than our uniform Maven, Kimmy T. She had a little mishap with her uniform, but pulled through to a resounding gold, first medal for the team.

After swimming his 1500M, Russ E. enjoyed a cool Energice freezer bar, as did many of us. Russ was able to secure a product sponsorship from Energice for the team. Thanks Russ!

The 800M free also was graced by the likes of John R., who was able to gain some more points for the team. All without any warmup! Meanwhile in the East Pool, captain Doug R. and coach Greg S. had a battle in the water, racing neck and neck in their heat. It was close, but in the end, Doug let Greg pull ahead.

John R. and Matt T. joined the Seattle water polo team, helping them gain 2 victories, with Matt making 2 goals!

And how did we end the night? Apprentice with everyone stopping by at one point or the other in Fred W.'s room. Another exciting chance to watch someone get fired!

Look for tomorrow's report!
