NASA MEET DAY 1

We all made it to the pool on time for day 1.  I do have to say that Allison had her one chance with music on the ride over, but I think we are going in another direction on future rides.  We had plenty of time to get settled and from these pictures you would think it might be a long day.

We let the pool empty out a little and got everyone in for warm ups around 7 using 5 lanes.  The meet started off with some basckstroke events.  In the 200 back  Lauren Royce and Emily Drakopoulos both went best times and the exciting thing was that it looked like we had our legs which is always a good way to start a meet. Our next 200 backstroker was Kent Codding  who dropped 5 seconds.  Alex Aung was just a little off his time  Meanwhile in the East pool the 12 and unders were busy swimming their backstroke events.  Irene and Nicole were a few tenths off their jo times and Tyler dropped a half of second.  Justin Singletary had a great 200 backstroke dropping over 5 seconds. Next events up were the breast stroke and for our 13-14 it must have been a treat to swim 50's.  Only problem was they had to be seeded with 100 times.  Neverless Faith and Allison looked good after a stern talk about a second warm up. (Oh Mikey it's just a 50! excuse me!  teenage girls!)  Isabella had a good tune up for her 100 breast later in the meet.  Luca  Byrnes had a great 50 which should set his 100 up nicely.  Meanwhile over in the other pool Claire Kathman, Catherine Lim, and Justin Conors all had best times in the 50.  Our 10 and unders swam the 100 breastand Nicole dropped 3 seconds and Emerson Wilson was just a little off placing 11th and just missing finals. The last individual events of the session was the 50 free for all age groups.  This is such a hard event to drop time at this stage of the season and it showed across the board with swimmers from all teams and we were no different.  Having b best times were Catherine Lim, Allison Hickey, Luca Byrnes,  and Kent Codding.  A little off times and we are talking .1-.3 tenths were Isabella, Ellie, Jackson, Emily, Brooke Williams, and Lauren.   Our 11-12 girls would finish the morning session with their 200 Medley relay where we did okkkkkkkk. A very good session for Mako swimmers, with Justin Singletary (200 back), Luca Byrnes (50 breast) , Katherine Helms (50 free ) coming back to finals.  All swimming finals will be our 9-10 girls, 13-14 girls and boys 200 medley relays.
