FRIDAY DAY 3

FRIDAY and DAY 3


Today we all were up having breakfast early and than piled into the van and arrived for warm ups at 7:30. Today we found three lanes and had a pretty good warm up period. The younger kids would start their meet with the 100 IM and all three Mako swimmers Faith, Ellie , and Peter had best times. They would follow that with some incredible 100 backstroke swims with Lexi , Anthony , Peter , all posting best times. Lexi would be our only 100 fly in this group swimming a little off her time but setting her self up nicely for finals later in the evening. This group ended the day with the 100 free with Peter, Anthony, having two great swims.
The 13-14 year olds began their day with the 100 back with Lauren, Maggie , Ian, all posting best times for the year. In the most exciting race between Mako swimmers Fletcher (2:22:46) would just out touch Kyle (2:22:49) in the 200 breast and making finals leaving Kyle 11th and on the outside looking in. The swimming gods must have been smiling as Kyle was scratched into finals later in the day. Maggie would also swim again in finals after her morning swim. The next event was the 100 fly with Marcelo, and Elena posting about their same times. The 100 free would also be the last event for this group with Julia, Lauren, Ian, Marcelo, all having some great swims.
Again our 3 relays. Made it to finals and would be swim mining the evening.
Friday finals saw Lexi swimming best times in the 100 fly and the 100 back stroke. Not to be out done Peter also had 2 events in finals swimming best times in the 100 IM and proving me wrong by swimming a52.56 in the 100 free. Another swimmer with 2 events in finals was Anthony swimming lifetime best in the 100 free and back. Single events swimmers in finals were Ian in the 100 free (same best time from morning), Maggie in the 200 breast, and the rematch of Kyle and Fletcher in the 200 breast stroke with Kyle posting another best time and winning. The relays again had some great swims with the lead offs swimming lifetime bests.




 
Now it was back to the hotel to prepare for our last day of swimming.
