OUR EXTREME DREAM

     This weekend was the final weekend for Cory's swimming.  The River City Swim League held its championships at the Cecil Aquatics Center and the Equestrian Center.  Cory had four events to swim on Saturday and three on Sunday.

• Girls 8 & U 25 back - time was 33.27 seconds
• Girls 8 & U 25 free - time was 31.74
• Girls 8 & U 25 fly - DQ for doing a scissor kick
• Girls 8 & U 25 breast - DQ for bringing her arms behind the hip line
• Girls 8 & U 50 free - time was 1:14.77
• Girls 8 & U 100 medley relay - time was 2:34.89
• Girls 8 & U 100 free relay - time was 2:18:.90
• Oceanway Tsunamis placed 14 out of 20  (not bad for their first year)

     I was so proud of how much she had improve over the season.  Her times dropped over 5 seconds in each event at champs.  Her relays lost about a minute.  She even got first place in her heat for the backstroke (which she used to hate).

     I managed to swim in a Parent 100 meter free relay without drowning or having a heart attack.  I have never jumped off a block before.  I can understand why the kids are so nervous about it when the first start swimming.

     On Monday, OTST held their end of the season  banquet at Oceanway Middle.  Cory was thrilled to get a trophy and a pin.  I think she has decided that she'll do it again next year.
