[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OKM refused to recognize CB graduating seniors. This is the first time a team has refused to put competition aside to recognize the years of dedication graduating seniors have put into their respective team. Incredibly disappointed in the sportsmanship from OKM.[/quote]

OKM didn’t refuse recognition of seniors they just requested the senior recognition portion take place after the last relay. Starting the meet with 30min of stories and honors isn’t fair for the visiting team and honestly isn’t fair for the actual senior swimmers before they have to race.

Most importantly the demonic themes (punisher face paint and banners everywhere), scary rabid bunny costume and full body gorilla costume in the skit with violent undertones 100% needs to stop, step up NVSL. CB-Do this at your Friday pep-rally if you like this weird stuff. Why make the visiting team go through this if you truly are all about the competition & sportsmanship. It actually discounts your swimming talent and CB parents should step up to change this culture for the better.

Side note, credit to CB (reps/parents) for honoring OKM seniors and giving flowers to them at the DJ table. Very unexpected and a nice display of sportsmanship after the 15-18 boys splash incident and before the stupid skit antics.

The OKM Osprey’s almost got you and (on behalf of many on the chat) boy it would have been sweet!  See you at RC![/quote]

As a viewer who was there, you clearly weren't. The seniors were honored after the skit and so-called splashing incident. Their seniors nearly refused to accept the roses. CB always does their ceremony at the end, and typically, the other team will stay to honor them. OKM left immediately, refusing to even listen to the beginning of the ceremony[/quote]

Um, I was there and an OKM parent.  This is and will be my only post as I don't know what happened with most of these posts  and therefore won't comment cause this is all nuts.  [b]But I will say our 4 seniors were honored to be recognized and thought it was sweet.  [/b]

[b]Say whatever you want about the rest, but they definitely thought it was nice to receive the flowers.  [/b][/quote]
