The calm before the craziness begins. There is something amazing about a pool before a meet. The anticipation, the calm, the quiet excitement. It's so great!
We were the first ones in the bleachers today, so we got to really enjoy the peaceful moment.
E swam three events. The 200 Medley Relay, the 100 IM, and the 50 Back. He was supposed to swim the 200 Free Relay as well, but someone scratched this week, so he was not able to swim it.
He did not know any of the boys on his relay team. But, they came in 2nd!!!! If you finish in the top 3, you get to compete for this district at the state competition. Woo hoo! He swam the backstroke leg of the relay.
He came in 3rd in the IM, swimming his fastest ever time of 1:29.82. He took about 2.5 seconds off his previous best. Another state event!
He came in 5th in Back. It was not his best ever time, but it was the best time he has had all summer. Very proud of this fella.
Doing his favorite activity between events.
Waiting for his awards to be ready. We were also the last ones in the pool. This was a long 7 hour day. But so worth it!
So proud of his medals!
