Thank you to everyone that contributed to the CAC Block Party Fund. Over the weekend, we reached our goal of $12,000! We should all be very proud of accomplishing this goal. Remember, if you want to take the tax deduction on 2005, we need to receive your contribution by December 31.

Congratulations to Alex Norris! Alex was selected to participate in the inaugural Central Zone Select Camp to be held June 8-11 in Bloomington, Indiana. The Central Zone Select Camp is sponsored by USA Swimming and is viewed as an integral step for athletes to move from the local and Zone level to the national swimming scene. A total of 28 male and 28 female athletes were selected from each of the four Zones for the regional camps. This is a great honor and exemplifies Alex's dedication and hard work.

The Top 16 lists are official for the 2004-2005 swimming season and CAC is represented again. Mack Rice: 10 & Under Boys - 200 Free (5th); 500 Free (3rd); 50 Fly (10th), 100 Fly (8th) and 200 I.M.
