I don’t know why it took us so long to come to this long course meet, but we made the trek to Quincy this weekend and we’ll certainly be back. The facility was fantastic, we just wish the weather had been a little better. The temperature was perfect, high 70’s to low 80’s…but we like things a little more dry!
On Friday night they were able to get one whole event in before the rains came. And by rain I mean a torrential downpour. It was quite a storm. But after Kiersten finished her 200IM, and qualified for state we headed to the hotel. We ordered Chinese food and watched the gymnastics Olympic trials. Simone Biles was ah-mazing!
Bright and early Saturday morning, 6:45 to be exact we were back at the pool. Kiersten had an amazing meet qualifying for the 200IM, 100 breast, 50 free, 50 back and the 200 free! This was Hatties first long course meet and she did great…swimming the 100 back, the 100 free and she swam the 50 breast beautifully despite losing her goggles.
In the afternoon Leah was up. She was more excited about seeing her friends Alex and Shelby Strong. She had a busy day. She qualified for state in the 200IM, 50 free and 100 breast. But more importantly she swam her first 400IM. It was actually cancelled on Friday night and it was around 7:39pm when she finally got her chance. So after 5 events and 12+ hours she crushed it and finished in 6:57!!! It was a great day for our Gators.
