Seth Dunscomb Memorial 2018

This picture...there are just no words. The look on her face says it all. She is a daddys girl.
 The bond these two share is so incredibly special and I hope it will remain for always. 

This weekend was our second annual Seth Dunscomb Memorial Swim Meet. The turnout was small, but the competition was good. The other teams that showed up had some real talent. But so did we! We started out Friday night with Leah swimming the 500. She was nervous but Mitch reassured her that she could do it. They practiced it over break. He gave her tips for setting her pace and we knew she was ready. There were only three girls competing in the race, and he told her to expect her time to be around 10  minutes. We were thrilled when she finished the event in 9:09 and took 1st place!

The rest of the weekend was equally amazing. Kiersten swam her first 25 breaststroke. It's always a fear that they will DQ, but she didn't. She did wonderful and brought home 6th place. Actually she brought home ribbons for each event. Her relay took 1st (they were uncontested), she got a 4th and a few more 6th. It was a great showing for the little bug, who is only seven swimming with the 8 and unders.

Leah brought home 11 ribbons/medals from each of her events too. She got 1st in the 500, and one of her relays took 2nd. She got second in the 50 fly...she was seriously flying! And had amazing swims all around. The spring season isn't very long, so we are looking forward to a few more meets before things slow down.
