State Cut, baby! And a personal best in the 50 free.

This year the School is in Division 2 for women's swimming (It's done by enrolment size and we're on the cusp of D1/D2). Which means State Cuts are a little slower. so her 1:11:11 in the breast was fast enough. What do you mean she wasn't swimming the breaststroke? Intense coach was intense and realized we weren't winning as easily as she anticipated so dropped her from the Fly and put her in the breast. And the 200 free relay. She would have dropped her from the 50 free too and put her in the IM or left her in the fly if she could, but she'd already swum it by then. Last year she went in as Breaststroker #5. One graduated. She just slaughtered last year's #4. So now she's #3. Or maybe #2....who knows ......#2 didn't swim that event tonight.
