There is something so very special about watching your kids excel at something they love! We spent ALL weekend at the pool for YMCA Districts and these girls definitely had their game faces on. Leah (11) is struggling to find her "thing" but you'd never know she's questioning swim by her performance and attitude. She's a little disappointed that she didn't qualify for state as an individual, but she'll be there with the relays. And she has set herself up perfectly for next year. There are LOTS of state cuts coming for her next year. But this meet was an absolute win for her. She dropped in every single event...and not just small drops. We're talking over 4 seconds in her 100 breast and more than 7.5 seconds in her 100 FLY. Even better, in morning while the little kids swam she was on deck at the end of the lane cheering on her sister and friends.
Hattie swam the 50 backstroke,knocked off another half second and spent the rest of the weekend enjoying snacks and playing with friends.
Kiersten set one goal for the weekend. Shes been slowly chipping away at her 50 Breaststroke time. She only needed to drop 1.9seconds. First race of the meet she crushed her 50 breast and qualified for state in her second individual event. She dropped 1.7 seconds like it was nothing. I may have been crying in the stands. Today her relay...that had never swam together before, jumped in the pool and took 6th. Great job, Gator girls...so very proud of you. Now on to state!
