Wednesday finals and Day 2

WEDNESDAY FINALS and Day 2Thursday


Wednesday night we had 3 relays along with 5 swimmers competing in the pool. Anthony was swimming the 200 back again and would swim another best time going 3 seconds faster from the morning.
 
 
Faith and Maggie would also swim the 50 breast stroke and both had great swims posting best times again.

 
Faith, Anthony ,Peter and Ian also had the 50 free at final. All three would post best times in the event. The 11 and 12 relay with Ellie, Lexi, Allison and Faith had a great swim. Both 13-14 relays did well with Ian, Fletcher, Marcelo , Kyle, Lauren Maggie, Elena and Julia . This would end the first day of racing for the Makos.
Thursday Day 2 arrived early and we would drop off the 13-14 yearl olds early and go back for the 12 and unders. We had a real good warm up as we arrived a little later and allowed that first wave to clear the pool. The first event of the day was the 200 IM. and first up was Julia who set the tone by dropping over 7 seconds in the event. Not to be out done Lauren, Katherine, Justin, Peter, Ian, Lexi, Kyle and Anthony all had great swims while posting best times for the season. Next up were the fly events for the day and Justin posted his second best time of the day in the 50 , and Fletcher (coming off chicken pops) came up a little short in the 200 fly. The next event of the day was the 50 back with Audrey, Marcelo, Faith , Allison, Peter and Anthony all swimming best times. Ellie, Ian, Lauren, Julia all swam well posting about their same times. The last event for us was the 500 free with Marcelo, Gabby and Elena swimming and all three having very good swims with Elena dropping over 3  seconds in her race.   All three relays were out of finals but swam very well in the morning with many good splits recorded.
We decided that this would be the day to let the kids go and have what we hope would be a fun day for them, as we had only three swimmers in finals. We would arrive back at the pool at 4:45 for finals and after going through our warm ups Katherine 100 IM, and Anthony and Lexi in the 50 back would all post best times for the year. Anyone who notices Anthony made the 200 I'm final but was scratched in very late in the afternoon and I was not aware of it so that is why you may see a NS for that event.



This was the end of our second day.
