Let the games begin

The swimming season has begun and this will be Little K's 3rd year of high school compatition.  She has been swimming for over 10 years now.

Practice officially started on November 16 and will end with state competition on February 27, 2010.

LNS is a fairly new high school, this is it's 7th year.  Last year Little K was the first girl to qualify for two individual events at the state level and her name on the record board for several events.

Saturday the team had an Intra-Squad meet.  It's a meet within the team and just for fun.  It also gives the coaches some base line times.

Little K's strongest events are the 50 & 100 yard free style, these are the events she had qualifying state times for.  It usually takes most of the season to reach the state qualifying times.  We were very surprised when Little K had a time of 27.73 in the 50 free style, the state qualifying time for that event is 25.91. 

Practice consists of 5:30 a.m. weight training 3 times a week with a full workout in the pool 6 days a week.  Her goal this year is to qualify for the 2nd day of state competition.

I am very thankful for the talent God has blessed her with.

Thank you for all the "Good Lucks"

Sorry it took me so long to update you on the Swim Conference Finals, I finally got the pictures down loaded. The pictures are a little blurry but that's what happens when you bounce your camera off payment.

KJ placed 3rd in the 50 free setting a new school record and she qualified for state in the 100 free with a new school record as well.

KE set a new school record in the 200 IM placing 9th and sixth in the 100 breast stroke.

Both girls have worked really hard this year.

Tomorrow is the first day of state competition-preliminaries. It will be a bitter/sweet meet, KE is a senior so this will be her last high school state competition.

Good luck girls and "Kick Fish Fins".

Conference - Going to finals

Sorry guys, time for a little mommy brag time on her little blessings.


For those of you who don't know me and my family, my girls have been swimming for 11 years. I guess I gave birth to fish :-)

Due to a snow storm on Friday our conference swim meet was rescheduled, preliminaries today and finals on Monday.









This conference includes eight high schools. To qualify for finals you must place in the top six positions in your event. Those six swimmers will come back on Monday (Finals) and swim for medals.

There are about 20 swimmers per event (four heats).

My oldest daughter (who graduates this year) placed in the top six in the 100 yard breast stroke, pictured above.

My second daughter (sophomore) placed in the top six in both the 50 Free Style and the 100 Free Style.






Both girls are on two relay teams that will also compete in the finals.

I am so thankful that God chose me to be their mother.

Girls - good luck at finals and better luck at state.
