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.

 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
