McKinney Goes to County

McKinney, Daddy and I couldn't be more proud of you. You are a wonderful swimmer and that is how you earned a trip to the county championship this year. You placed 24th in the entire county in the 25 freestyle for your age group. So, we got up very early and headed down to the best college swim arena anywhere (GT) to watch you compete for your team!!


It was early, but you were excited!!


Here you are with the coaches listening to Coach Rick give you instructions before warming up.
You were a little nervous about getting in the water because Rebekah told you it was very cold, but you were still excited.

First time in...


Practicing breast stroke - nice form buddy!!


Taking a little break.

Finally finished warming up and you are ready and anxious to swim your heat.



We couldn't be on the pool deck during the actual event, but we snapped this picture from our seats as you were heading to the block for you turn.

And the results.....


4th in the overall heat and you beat your time setting a new personal record for yourself. We are so proud of you and can't wait to see how much you improve next year.
