HURRAH FOR STEPH!

Yesterday was the section meet for Steph's swim team. The team finished 2nd and seven girls have advanced to the State Meet which will take place next weekend. Steph swims in one of the two relays that gets to go! It was such an exciting race! I can't even tell you... I was sitting next to Lindsay and it was just SO EXCITING! My heart was racing when it was finished. We knew that they had a chance to qualify for State, but anything can happen on the day of the race. The good news is that it was the FIRST race of the meet. I think that the girls were relieved to get it out of the way right away! The other exciting thing was that they broke the school record! Good job, ladies!

I am really proud of all the girls who swam on Saturday. Swimming is a very strenuous sport and (somehow) after a long, hard season, they all managed to drop time. I believe that they all did their very best. I love that Steph is a part of this team. These girls are very supportive of each other and they like to hang out with each other outside of the pool. So much...that the section team spent the night at our house. This morning, we had 20+ girls plus Mr. Sholund for breakfast. Very fun and such good memories for all of us! Congrats, Steph and Congrats to the CI Swim and Dive Team!!! We're proud of you!
