....and we're back!

We had a simply incredible weekend of swimming. There were many highs and lows but overall it was a very respectable showing by my daughter and hard work and dedication paid off for her.
She had her best finishes ever in the finals all three nights and we left Penn State exhausted and worn out. There were so many lessons learned it is hard to sort through them and keep them all straight, but I know as time goes on the experience she gained this weekend will carry on with her for the rest of her life and she will be able to draw on it for the future.



She loves swimming so much and it is awesome to be able to get in the car after a long weekend such as this and have her sit in the back seat and tell you that she can't wait to get back at it for the next meeting coming up in two weeks even in the midst of all of her exhaustion. Because of her great time in the backstroke this weekend she has qualified for another meet that we added to the agenda in August, so our season just got extended by a few days again but that is a good thing.


Next up North Baltimore, then 1 day after we return from there it's back to Penn State for the Middle Atlantic Zones Meet, then we will officially be done until September rolls back around. WHEW!

She's a most amazing girl, but she didn't get there or that way on her own. Give yourselves a pat on the back. You deserve it.
