PIRANHA FAMILIES —- Thank you to everyone who dropped everything on Friday to make the virtual A-Meet happen on Saturday.  Although we would much rather be swimming in-person meets, holding this event virtually was the right decision for our families.  I want to highlight the efforts of Mary Stroot, who was up late on Friday night, early Saturday AM, and then all afternoon on Saturday setting up the meet, running the meet, and then working with New Mark Commons to merge the results and reach consensus on a score.  Thank you Mary for your dedication to the Piranhas!
