This weekend, Part 1

After traveling all week, I got home Friday night at about 9:15PM, only to get back in the car and drive another 150 miles to the Regional Swim Meet for C's HS. She had to be there at 7 AM, so we decided to spend the evening there to make the trip easier.

In all 3 events C swam (medley relay, 200 Free and 500 Free), she or her team qualified for the evening session. Between sessions, we had reserved our hotel suite for 2 nights, so all of the swimmers hung out in our room watching movies. There were 9 people there, so it was lively with 7 girls and 2 boys.

In the evening session, C qualified for the State meet in the 200 Free. She went low at about the 300 point during her 500 free, missing qualifying for State by 2 places and about 3 seconds, but still cut 3 seconds off her qualifying time. Her relay team also missed qualifying for the State meet, although C swam a great opening Backstroke.

We are very proud of C and the hard wok she put in to do this. On to the State meet, next weekend.

I tried to take pictures, but given how far we were from the action, the pictures are less than useful. Sorry
