CVST Has Great #BGNat17 In & Out of Water
 
WOW! What a great event!  This year's Boys & Girls Club Nationals was the best event ever put on by the CVST Officials, Parents, Volunteers, Coaches and anyone else whohelped to put the meet on! We received numerous compliments from Coaches, Parents and swimmers from the other teams on all aspects of the meet.
 
Coach Kelly - I just wanted to say thank you to you as well as everyone involved with CVST and the Boys & Girls Club Meet over the weekend. The kids from Valentine had a blast and the parents are already asking about next years meet. Thank you once again for hosting, we can't wait to see you all again next year.

In the water, CVST also had a great meet where they were led by 8 year old Sophie "That Girl" Nichols and her 5th Place Overall High Point finish in the 8&Under Girls Age Group. She also picked up medals for her efforts in the 25, 50 & 100 Freestyles, 25 Backstroke, 25 & 50 Breaststroke, 50 Butterfly and 100 IM, not to mention the 100 Freestyle and 100 Medley Relays. Not a bad haul of hardware for the weekend.  Also shining over the weekend was CVST’s Two-Time National Champion, Sophie “Bubbles” Hasara. Who picked up Gold Medals in the 500 & 1650 Freestyles in the 13-14 Girls Age Group.  Her time in the 1650 Freestyle would have also won the event in the Senior Age Group.
