Over the weekend Chloe went to the Championship Swim Meet. This is the biggest swim meet we attend and is two days long. Well it's two days long if you make it to the races the second day, which are the championship heats. The kids and I got to the meet at 7:00 am Friday morning and we didn't get home that day until about 4:00 pm-that is about 9 hours spent at the swim meet-WOW! We set up camp and just settled in.
All relay results were final. Any other races they took the top 5 and they swam Saturday for the Championships. FYI the relay teams were all messed up they switched girls at the last minute so they had the wrong girls on the wrong teams and gave out ribbons and medals to the wrong kids, so what they had written on paper and what really happend doesn't match up but the results I am putting on here are the real thing
Chloe's Events
Day 1
200 Meter Freestyle Relay- Chloe's team took 4th
50 Meter Backstroke-Chloe took second with a time of 55.72 and moved onto day two
50 Meter Breaststroke-Chloe took 13th with a time of 1:05.52
200 Meter Medley Relay-Chloe's team took 3rd
50 Meter Freestyle-Chloe took 10th with a score of 50.8
Day 2
50 Meter Backstroke-Chloe took second with a time of 55.67
She got the silver medal and was so excited. She swam so good in this race-really straight with a perfect flip turn. What's even better about this win is that it was the first time this year she had swam the backstroke in a competition and also the fact that she hadn't really been to practice all week because of her finger.
Chloe is having an awesome year. Most of the girls beating her are 10, so next year she will dominate her age group. She loves swimming and is so happy to be back in the water!!!
