another swim meet down

OK, let us start where we left off...

color guard is once a week, Thursday evenings. because our latest meet was yesterday (a Thursday, for those of us who don't keep track of the days), i missed the first part of the meet. i barely missed the 13-14 medley relay. i would have made it, had my dad picked me up on time. he was supposed to pick me up at 7:30, but i guess it spaced his mind, because i called him at 8 and asked him to kindly come pick me up. i swam in the breaststroke again, but unfortunately, i did not get first. i got second to a foreign exchange student from Thailand, very cool. I then proceeded to swim the butterfly. ugh... the worst stroke invented by far. although there are those who look amazing swimming that stroke, i am not one of those blessed few. i got third to fellow swimmer Hannah Becker and "Thailand", as she will be now be known as. I also got the chance to swim in the free relay. Our team was B again, but we improved our time tremendously. Kelsey Kah, Lauren Meek, Elisa Carrasco, and I swam an 2:23.81 . not quite as impressive as the 15-18 boys relay, but still well swam. I was first leg again, and got us in a pretty good spot, but unfortunately the other teams had some pretty fast swimmers. we placed 3rd, but that wasn't last! our team ended up winning the meet by 36 points: Beaver Brook Country Club: 338, View Harbour: 374. our coach was very impressed by our win, because apparently in the first half of the meet, there were careless DQ's made. all together though, i think we did quite well.



Just as an FYI: Farragut High School is marching in the Independence Day Parade on July 4th on Kingston Pike.
