County Champions ~ 2 year in a Row

This was our first year to try swim team. Rebekah & McKinney - you both did really well. You exceeded at each meet and you improved your times considerably over the course of the swim season. Rebekah, you especially worked really hard at your breast stroke. The top 52 swimmers in each stroke make it to the county championship at Georgia Tech. You wanted to make it to county your first year so bad. You worked so hard and you were placed 51st. That meant that you were the first alternate if any of the other 50 swimmers couldn't swim for some reason. So, we went to GT that morning and were hoping you would get to swim. Unfortunately, that didn't happen this year, but I know you will make it next year. Coach Rick was so proud of you too. What a team player you were to go all that way not knowing if you were going to swim or not.
You did get to warm up in the 1996 Olympics pool, which you said was really cold!
We are so proud of you!!
