Last weekend, as we continued to taper for this weekend's Championship meet, we all gathered at the pool on Saturday morning as usual--but wearing a few extra layers. Dating back to Jenn's time as a club coach, drag races have been a tradition during our taper since she arrived at Whitman in 2000. Of course, in their original permutation drag races were about swimming while wearing drag: t-shirts, leggings, board shorts, etc. But bring the term "drag" to a college team and, naturally, it becomes a double entendre. Years later, the tradition continues with our men and women dressing in drag and swimming in drag. We started things off with a skit before getting in the pool. Once again, it was the sophomore boys who impressed the judges the most and strutted away the winners for the second year in a row.
Energy is high this week! The excitement as everyone gets rested and ready for the meet has everyone buzzing and trying to contain themselves in preparation for the weekend. See you in a few days!
