Divisionals

(Hannah is in the front right above the "f" in Silverleaf. Knox is four guys to the right of Hannah, wearing a white t-shirt and Hawaiian bathing suit.

Katy is kinda hidden. David and I are up on the hill at the very top of the picture towards the left. )

The kids had great swims on Saturday. Katy and Knox both took time off. Katy had her season best in breaststroke, dropping 1.14 seconds, and also in backstroke, dropping 2.56 seconds. After the meet, we went to Mom and Dad's for dinner and Katy fell asleep on the couch. We had to wake her up to take her home and then she still slept all night.

Knox took another 2.69 seconds off his breaststroke. Overall, he had the best season. He dropped his times pretty much all year and really improved on all of his strokes. He didn't DQ anything!!

Hannah had a decent meet on Saturday. Not her best, but good enough to get her into the regional event. Her free relay team is ranked 6th and will compete on Sunday. She is ranked in two individual events, short free and backstroke, and is an alternate in breaststroke. She is 12th in short free and 7th in backstroke. She is thinking about swimming year round starting in the fall. I think she has a lot of natural talent but she has to decide if she really wants this. Of course, it helps that she has friends who will be swimming too! I didn't realize how quickly I was going to become obsolete. The two older kids are definitely all about the friends. Luckily, we live in a neighborhood with some great kids. It has been a great summer swim year. I am very very proud of all four of them (Macon swam tadpoles). They all had a fantastic time hanging out in the tents, eating a bunch of snacks and candy, going to Fuddrucker's or having pizza after the meets and goofing around with friends. I can't wait for next year!
