Makena, listening intently to her coach, before her first meet in Elk Grove.We're two weeks, and three meets, into SWIM SEASON 2009! Makena has proven to be the threat that all those other teams thought she would be as an 8 year old... she's stronger, she's smarter, and oh boy... is she faster! She, along with her friends Zoe and Brittany are staples in the "A relay"... apparently the place to be. Nearly blowing their competitors out of the water.
Makena is swimming butterfly in the medley relay, a stroke she thought she didn't like anymore... that is until she realized that she is really good at it! Even getting the, "she's really good... for her age," from one of the 11 year old girls at the first meet (that young lady was corrected by one of her friends... "No, she's just good," she said... so proud!).
Where there's one, there they all are...
Here are her times from her 2 last meets:
Against Dixon:
25 Yard Back Stroke: 21.35
50 Yard Free: 41.75
25 Yard Butterfly: 20.69
Against Gold River:
25 Yard Free: 19.27
25 Yard Back Stroke: 22.60
25 Yard Breast Stroke: 27.56
Congratulations, Makena!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having a blast! I remember how fun it was to be on swim team and to hang out and play cards with my teammates. The photos and stories sure bring back memories for me when I was your age!
Enjoy challenging yourself, you little-big fishy you!
Love and kisses,
Aunt Lori
