POSTING...POSTING!

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES BELOW, SWIM CHAMPIONSHIPS HAPPENED THIS PAST SATURDAY. EARLY TO RISE 5:30, AND AT THE POOL BY 6:20. IT WAS REALLY COOL, EVERYONE HAD BROUGHT TENTS AND SO IT LOOKED LIKE ONE MASSIVE GROUP OF CAMPING PEOPLE. WE MADE SURE WE SAT WITH OUR FRIENDS THAT WAY DURING BREAKS THE KIDS HAD OTHER KIDS TO PLAY WITH AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO HUNT THEM DOWN. DURING WARM UP'S SOMEONE RAN INTO MERCEDEZ WHEN SHE WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON THE BLOCK AND AS A RESULT HER LEFT THIGH WAS CUT UP PRETTY BADLY. IF ANYONE OF YOU HAVE EVER GOTTEN INTO A POOL WITH AN OPEN WOUND YOU KNOW HOW BAD I FELT FOR HER. SHE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOM TOLD HER SHE COULD DO IT AND THEN GET A BLIZZARD AFTERWARD. SHE IS A TROOPER, AFTER EVERY RACE SHE WOULD GO AND RINSE OFF THE BLOOD AND THEN START ALL OVER.
HEAT INFORMATION, SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SWAM...
SPENCER

MERCEDEZ

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF HER ALSO, NO METALS BUT SHE IMPROVED SO MUCH.
THEY COMPETED AGAINST 6 OTHER TEAMS AND TO BREAK THAT DOWN, THEY PERSONALLY SWAM AGAINST 49 OTHER SWIMMERS EACH TIME. PLUS THEY ONLY GIVE MEDALS FOR 1ST-15TH PLACE, I BELIEVE IN MOST OF THEIR HEATS THEY CAME IN BETWEEN 19-25, SO WE SHALL SEE WHAT NEXT YEAR BRINGS.
