Funky Fish 2019






We spent all weekend at the Funky Fish Classic at Wesleyan University up in Bloomington. Lovely pool, terrible viewing facility. But we survived. We let Hattie stay home with a babysitter all day Saturday. We knew two days in a row of sitting would be a bit much for her.

Since Kiersten will be aging up to the 10U division soon we decided to have her go ahead and swim up this meet. She did not disappoint. She dropped almost 6 seconds in her 50 free. She DQ'd in her 100 breast, and she immediately knew why...one hand touch on her turn. She dropped nearly 10 seconds in her 50 Fly, and a whopping 15 seconds in her 100 free that she swam LAST MONTH! She's such a solid breast stroke swimmer and dropped almost 3 seconds in her 50 breast. This girl just amazes me. She works hard and it shows.

Leah had another amazing meet as well. She took 3rd place and dropped 21 seconds in her 200IM. Not only that she qualified for state! She was really pushing for a state time in her 100IM and she got that too. She had to swim the 12U to get it, but she got it done! Her breast stroke is looking stronger and stronger. She's super close to a state time there too...she dropped 2.5 seconds. Overall another great weekend for our swimmers. Looking forward to our last home meet of the season next weekend.
