Winds whip Palm Springs meet!

3-21-09: This had to be the windiest meet we've been to in our 5 years on the team. Paper from admin was flying into the pool, we had to take down our EZ ups, they took off all the coverings from the shades...it was wild!

The craziest and most dangerous thing that happened was when the nice big scoreboard got blown over! Fortunately, no one--especially a kid--was walking behind it at the time or else...take a look at the picture to see how many guys it took to lift it up and out. It was attached to that lifeguard chair with all the yellow tape around it.



The wind made it tough for the swimmers, especially on the way back to the timers. Almost like swimming in the open water, what with the waves and white caps! But they did their best, as always!

Go RST!
