We cannot express how proud we are of our Tigers for winning their final meet against Chesterbrook 213-207 on Saturday!  It was a fast, exciting and spirited meet and our swimmers drew on the energy of their teammates, families, alumni and coaches to pull out an extremely close win.  It was incredibly rewarding for all of us to see the team come out with a much deserved victory and achieve something extremely rare in the NVSL, three straight Division 1 championships - another first in the long list of accolades that Tuckahoe has achieved under Coaches Torey and Zach and the entire Tuckahoe team.  Please see the attached meet results for the final score, times and several Tuckahoe team records that were broken at the meet.  

So what's next?  Our Monday Night meet against Kent Gardens!!  This meet will conclude the team competition portion of the summer schedule.  We will host our final full-team practice on Tuesday and then transition to Divisional Swimmer practices from Wednesday - Friday.  At the Divisional meet next Saturday, Tuckahoe will be allowed to enter 2 swimmers into each event with additional alternates identified.  If your swimmers are selected for the Divisional meet as an entry or alternate, the coaches will inform them at practice on Tuesday and they should expect to attend practice for the remainder of the week.  Full schedule for the week is listed below - please note the Little Tiger season concludes today at the Mini-Meet vs. Highlands.
