Kraken Game Day #2 - August 24th, 2024
The second Club Game Day of the summer was held at Harry Class Pool, August 24, 2024.

About 30 Krakens, alumnae, and guests from other clubs hit the water at 8:45am for intensive scrimmage. For much of the day two lines of younger athletes alternated with two lines of older athletes.

At one point, the lifeguards were called into action as the ball was launched on a trajectory towards the football field and had to be pulled out of the ivy on top of the wall.

Later, in an innovative move, the boys built an underwater living ladder and propelled their sharpshooter skywards.

Towards the end of the day, the older girls went head-to-head with the older boys in a knuckle-biting match.

Meanwhile, the younger squad moved down the pool and launched balls at the radar gun. Congratulations to the U13 and under boys who placed:

  • Carl D, 47kph
  • Cameron H, 46 kph
  • Aleksandar D, 44 kph

And to the U13 and under girls who placed:

  • Penelope K, 43 kph
  • Julia M, 34 kph
  • Alina S and Kaya L, 31 kph

Many thanks to the coaches, volunteers, parents, and athletes for making this day so much fun.

See you next summer!
