swim meets

swim meets are always fun. the screaming for your teammates. seeing friends swim their hearts out, and of course... the competition. we had a swim meet on the 9th: first one of the swimming season and we whooped the team's can. the final score was some 376 to 304. i swam the 200 medley relay with Lauren, Kelsey, and Elisa... i ended up swimming the butterfly not the breast :[ our relay placed 2nd to our "sisters" Relay A. then the 50 backstroke, 1st to my "sister" Kelsey... she's like almost 6 feet tall, so this was a major accomplishment! i swam the 50 breaststroke after back, and the amazing thing is, i didn't place last! i got 1st to someone else... i think it was Allie ??? then i swam in the free relay. 1st leg!! relay b, though. we placed 2nd though! yeah!! AJCC was such a small team and it was super easy to kick that can behind us.

now, last night we had a swim meet again against Northside YMCA. they are a little bit heavier in the older kid department, so they won by 71 points. i was supposed to swim the medley relay, back, breast, and the free relay. but one of our 13-14 girls (*cough* *Kelsey* *cough*) didn't show up, so we had to scratch our second 13-14 relay. so i only swam 2 events: back and breast. my breast i know was terrible and Allie's mom said it was hard to see who touched first... me or Allie? i guess we will see tomorrow. my backstroke wasn't the best, but i wasn't dead last!! more later about what ribbons i got!! :)
