WOO-HOO! State cuts in both events today -400 IM and 200 fly -both by a couple of seconds. (Wearing the magic suit) That girl is rocking the pool. She came in 5th and 3rd in the events, but the 13-14 and 15-18 age groups are combined at this meet. At States, they will be separated...... (She's 14)

It is funny seeing the huge difference in the time standards between Men and Women because right now -at 13-14 age group swimming, they're still pretty similar, and the girls are still faster in some things. Come high school cuts, the boys edge ahead -especially in freestyle. By Olympics -those differences are massive.

It's only because the women are too chicken to use steroids!

Seriously though, I'm super impressed with your lovely daughter, monster. She's a good kid and I hope she goes all the way!




...And when she does, I'm gonna take that picture I have of you guys at my house, and sell it to People magazine for ten grand.
