STATE CUT!!!!! She did it, bitches! State Cut is 1:10.69, she had 1:11.67 ...she swam 1:08.52. More than a 3 second drop. incredible. that's over 11 seconds since the start of the season -almost unheard of in a year-round swimmer's best stroke.

Better still, she came in 4th, just ahead of the now deposed #4 breaststroker on the team (The Breaststroke Battalion took 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and a few other spots in the top 16). only 4 from each team can swim in the final tomorrow, so SG is in the finals (fastest heat) and the other girl (sad for her but great for SG) only gets to swim in the consolation heat.

She also dropped 5 seconds on her IM and came in 7th, so is in the fastest heat of Finals in that too. And in her two relays, she also dropped time on her splits (and was again faster than the former #4 in the breaststroke -they keep leapfrogging each other, though, so chances are she'll be back to #5 tomorow. but hopefully still in the points....)

One of her relays got through to finals tomorrow too, the other had the right time to, but they are reserve because we already filled our allotted number of spots.

Way to go SG! Fantastic.

Holy Were-dolphin, batman! Hebe, you RAWK!

monster · 11-04-2011, 06:27 PM

It gets better....... because she's so young, for USA age-group swimming, it's not only a state cut, it's a zone cut (= many states, like entire flyover country), so she'll get to swim for Michigan against the other states. (High school swimming takes no account of age, so they can be 13 or 18. Age group swimming is 8U, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 and 15-17.)

Good for ya Hebe !!

Is this with the expensive superfast suit or without?

monster · 11-05-2011, 08:01 AM

with the expensive superfast suit.

and thanks all.

Finals today but I'm so much more chilled........

Sg already at the pool, I'm just getting my act together......

monster · 11-05-2011, 04:43 PM

7th in the IM (dropping another 2 seconds), 8th in the breaststroke with another 1:08 (tad slower than yesterday but still well under state cut time, so not a fluke). The fastest heat in each event was paraded in with a sign displaying the race, introductions as they walked to the blocks and music! SG's brother got to be a sign carrier and led Swimmer Girl in for her IM which was quite cute.

......and we're back to 6am practices

two more weeks.....
