Going to the State Championships in 5 events!


This weekend Colleen made three more cuts for a total of 5. She has qualified in the 50, 100, 200 breaststroke, the 50 fly and the 50 free. She will also be swimming in the 400 freesyle relay and 400 medley relay. This will be going on in Newport News on July 24-27.
One of Colleen's best swimming buddies broke his collarbone this week. Peter had qualified to not only swim 8 events at states but he had worked extrememly hard to qualify for 4 events at zones( a national meet). Peter is not only a very important part of our summer team, but he is a great kid. It is sad that he will not be able to swim in these meets. It has been a good example for Colleen that one mishap can change your plans and not to put all your eggs in one basket!
