Last Friday and Saturday was Chloe's Championship Swim Meet. They hold it every year between 4 teams-Dixie, Freedonia, Hurricane, and Mesquite. There are tons of participants so it takes to days. The first day is the preliminaries for all of the races except the relays. The relay races are final on Friday. The top 6 swimmers in each event swim in the finals on Saturday.The swimmers also earn points based on what place they take and at the end the team with the most points takes home a huge trophy until the next year. As long as Chloe has been swimming Freedonia has always won this event...I don't know if Dixie ever has, but guess what this year they did! Woot, Woot!!! Chloe had a great swim meet and really helped rack up some points for her team. Oh yes and at this meet they give out medals for 1st-3rd (a big deal for Chloe). 4th-6th get ribbons. Chloe swam five events-freestyle relay, backstroke, individual medley, medley relay, and freestyle.
Chloe and Mom-chillin before her first race. Luckily the pool was only about a block from our house so part of the time Bryce was able to hang out at home with Tanner.
Her second race was the backstroke...when she was done we both kind of thought she probably hadn't made it to the finals cause she kind of had a bad turn, but alas when they posted the times look who came in 6th and made it to the next day.
On Friday Chloe also swam the individual medley, freestyle, and relay medley. Her relay medley team took 3rd (Bronze Medal) and she easily made it to the finals in both of her other events.

Chloe did so well at this swim meet. She took places in all of her events and got personal records in them as well. We are so proud of our little girl. #ourgirl #partfish
