Medals and Relay Ribbon

The Results are IN!

Sorry for the late post, but those of you on Facebook already know!  Gracie went into this year's long course state championships with 2 goals - to swim fast enough to make it to finals at least once, and to drop time in her 50 free. 

At the end of 2 full (and H-O-T) days and nights of prelims and finals, she not only made it to finals in her signature event - the 100 Breaststroke - but also eeked out a finals entry for the 200 Breaststroke as well!  She finished her 100 Breast with a new personal best and A ranked state time.  She stayed consistent and finished 6th in the state for both events.  She also took 2 full seconds off of her 50 free. 

 They just announced her A time and finals entry for 100 BR.

 Gray and Sarah Grace...

 Gray and Mackenzie...

 Last words of wisdom and strategery from Coach Corey...

 And yes, Jackson was cold...it was 7:00 am.  His 'cold' didn't last long, believe me.

 Marching out for finals and announcing each swimmer. 

Well done Gray!  Proud of your hard work! - D
