U of C Recruitment

I went to Il Portico today after evening swim practice. Head Coach Mike Blondal talked about the programs and how everything works. As a fringe benefit I got a fancy meal with lots of pasta and desert.

One thing that really impressed me was how Mike shook my hand and knew my name without having ever been introduced. Wether or not he has just noticed me swimming at a meet or just had Marc point everyone out, it gives the impression that he cares and has taken the time to know my name. Kudos to him.

Also they gave out trinkets to all. Lanyards. If you don't know what that is by the name, it's one of those neaklaces for your keys.

I am 18 in 100 days. Only losers don't count down...
