Final Swim Meet

2 weeks ago Katie had her final swim meet of the year. It was very fun, but a very long day.
 We had to get up early and be at the pool at 8a.m. We had 7 teams from the western part of the state attending, needless to say there were a ton of kids walking around and it was a bit crazy trying to get everything in order to start.
 Katie swam in 5 events and she did very well in all of them.  She swam in 2 relays one was a 100m medley which she swam anchor for doing freestyle.  They came in 6th place out of 18.
 Her individual events were 100 IM she came in 6th, 25m free she came in 7th out of 30, and a 25m breast which she came in 6th again.  She did so well and we are very proud of her for even wanting to swim in this big meet with so many other kids. Katie has never really enjoyed the meets she just loves to be in the water so this was a big deal for her to take part in this meet.
 Her last event was another relay swimming a 100m freestyle relay.  She was put on a team of our younger kids so they didn't have the stronger swimmers like in her first relay but they all tried hard and ended up in 10th.  It was a long day but we were so glad to be able to see her do so well. We are now done with swim meets for the season!!!!  She loves the water so she can't wait for summer to come so she can be back in the water multiple times a week again.
