Farewell Poem
By AJ Ballard and Kellie Fletcher
July 25, 2004

There's a constant feeling inside of me that burns with intense heat.

This feeling gets us pumped up before, during and after every meet.

When we get this feeling we jump, smile and shout.

There is just no denying it -- this feeling is spirit, without a doubt.

Spirit makes us feel as if we're on the top.

Once we get the Spirit, we truly can't be stopped.

Spirit runs through our body

Like the blood runs through our veins.

Without the Spirit, we're really not the same.

Whether the Sugarbears win or lose our Spirit remains high.

Without Spirit the Sugarberars would never ever get by.

Spirit is as good for us as stretching and rockstar.

Once we taste the good stuff we simply cut free with charge.

I guess you can say that the Coaches are the Spirit leaders.

That's why they made us swim 50 and 100 meters.

Swimming is that something that we love to do.

So we say, "We've got the Spirit!

How about you?"
