A few updates for everyone!

First, you will notice a few things on the side of the blog. Division 3 State cut times have been added.

Next, look below. You will see GRCHS Records as well as our schedule for the upcoming season. If you know the locations of each meet, great! If not, look to the right for a link to find an interactive map. This will give you direction to each of our meets.

What to look for:
  • IMPORTANT!!! There are 2 meets that do not appear on the schedule GRCHS has that will be participating in. West Michigan Relays (Zeeland, Dec. 15th, all day) and the MISCA meet (Eastern Mich. Univ, Feb. 16, all day). For Misca Cut times, click here.
  • We will have Varsity Letter times up shortly.
  • A Season Outlook will appear after the first team meeting.
Looking forward to a great season!

Welcome to the 2007-2008 Grand Rapids Christian Men's Swimming and Diving Blog!

2007-2008 looks to be a great year for the Eagles!

With a core group of returners plus a group of talented freshmen, the team is poised and ready to go. GRCHS now participates in Division 3 and will be able to compete at the state level.

Dual meets with Holland Christian and Northview will be exciting this year. The team will look to wrap another GR City title and close out the City League setting as many records as they can.

Please feel free to add any thoughts, comments, pictures or encouraging words to this blog! An entire Season Outlook is coming soon, stay tuned...
