Hi Everyone, Coach Hamm sent the below email out on 1/16 and I missed getting it posted to the website. My apologies!! (These times have not been updated since the 16th, so if your swimmer has made new PRs since, please keep that in mind!)

GHSC,
Attached is an excel file (Best Times Spreadsheet) I use to make meet lineups and keep track of successes. This is a daunting project. I realize I am the keeper of information (not my plan by the way), but I am asking for your help. Please proof read the file with regard to your athlete(s) and if you see an errors/omissions please make me aware of them.
We are not a FINA driven league, so our record keeping and meet accuracy sometimes is suspect. Also, you may find I have a faster time than you are familiar with. That could be due to a spit time, or a time trial time being a current best, or even a swim that didn't count due to DQ's but I just want to know the speed. But please bring up any concerns so I can narrow my research instead of trying to verify every single time (though frankly I have already made that effort and my eyes are fuzzy from screen time).
The color coding makes it easy for me to see things I need to worry about. I hope it is understandable. Thanks.
Bill Hamm
