Hello and Happy New Year Broncos! We hope that this newsletter finds you well. We have 22 competitive Club Sport teams at SCU that compete locally, regionally, and nationally against other universities. Each month during the academic year, we ask them to report what they have been up to, and those that submit information will be sent out in this monthly e-mail. Not every Club Sport will report each month.

We are excited and putting in the work for two big meets at Stanford and UCLA this quarter. We will also be holding smaller intrasquad meets to help us make more qualifying times for nationals. Currently we have 6 national qualifiers, and are working hard to reach more qualifying times. If you have any questions or are interested in joining the club swim team, please email our freshman representatives, kbush@scu.edu and akerobyan@scu.edu .
