On Feb. 28th 2010 we went to echo’s district swim meet at the University of Illinois –Chicago. This is the swim meet that decides whether she goes onto state. That is determined only if she makes a state time at this meet. Very nerve racking!!!!!!!!!!!
Understand, she had state times in a handful of events in 2009 /2010, but she had to do them again at district in order to qualify for state compatition.
She was scheduled to swim the 200 freestyle that is 8 lengths of the pool. State time for that event is a 2:17.87 she swam a 2:13.70. The next event was the 100 freestyle state for that event is 1:02.79 she swam a 1:00.69 so on march 21st we will be going to Dekalb for the state meet. GO ECHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next year she will be 13 and that is when she is eligible nationals. I don’t know will see that would be pretty exciting that would mean a rode trip to Florida. No pressure Echo. I’m not sure what national times are to give you an idea though state times for when she turns 13 are for the 200 2:11. 59 and for the 100 it is 1:00.09 so she is really close to those times already. That is the only meet that I get really nervous at. I’ll let you know how she does at state.
Love ya Keyto
STATE of ILLINOIS adds one more to the road!
A happy, very happy Tiffani shows off her new drivers' license!
I have suspicions.
ReplyDelete1. The picture of Tiffani does not look like the picture of the person on the "Driver's License". Tiffani is smiling. The DL 'Tiffani' is frumpy.
2. Echo can not possibly be 12.
