Well I thought that even though we are not be in Saint Petersburg to swim we could run a virtual meet from our perspective, so here we go. The sun rose very early on Dy. Of competition an d the Mako swimmers answered the early wake up call and arrived at the pool at 6:30 and proceeded to get to
The backstrokers would b the first one to show their talents and to take on that bright Florida sunlight. First up were our 10 and under girls Sadie, Cally and Lexi. The three of them turned in incredible performances Sadie breaking a 31 and going to finals seeded first. Cally won her heat and Lexi swam into finals as a 9 year old.
Now it was time for the distance backstrokers to take to the pool for the 200. Charlotte Prunty, and Riley Miller had some of their best turns and underwater's of the season posting PB with Prunty going under 2:22. Kitty would post a sub 2:16 to gain a spot at finals. Sophia Cloutier and Charlotte Dixon wound end up swimming in the same heat with Dixon going under 2:12 and Sophia under 2:14. They would set up a final with kitty later that evening, and no I won't pick the winner I'll leave it to the swimming gods.
Up next were our 2 breaststroke and they would have to have all their juices flowing because this was their 50. Blake would take the top spot at finals while Emerson who only gets to swim a 50 in the summer now that she is an old lady would take the fourth spot at finals in the evening session.
Finishing off the morning session of Day 1 were the our sprint freestyler's. yes that fast pace 50 which hardly allows the coaches a chance to breathe until the end of the event. It seemed like all the Mako swimmers an d their dogs entered this event Lyla, Claire, Anna, Rebecca, Jacob Lee and Blake swimming as 12 and under's all posting best times, with Claire, Anna, and Blake swimming into finals.
Up next were the big kids of the group, you know the ones I'm talking about our leaders. Ben and Adrian placed 3rd and 4th in their heats while swimming straight into finals as 13 year olds. Ashley, Sophia Cloutier, Charlotte Dixon, Meghan Ice, Kitty, Charlotte Prunty Sophie Scadron, Skylar Small, Erin Terman, Riley, Jackie and Emerson swam some great races with a lot of PB if only by a few tenths, but hey in a 50 we will take anything we can get right. Out of that group Dixon, and Erin would return that evening for finals, with Jackie taking 2nd on the podium.
We finished off the day with our 200 Medley relay and would be swimming those in the evening as we were in the top 10. the 11 and 12 relay would take 5th place in the evening and yes girls the 13-14 would again take first this year with Kitty out touching the Fish girls again.
