Meet of CHAMPS

The Meet of Champs was held this past Saturday, the 24th of July (Pionner Day)!
Kammie and Zack did great and we have truly enjoyed this season.
From the Mock meet they held back on June 7th until the Meet of Champs, we've eaten, slept and breathed swimming it seems, but enjoyed all they were able to accomplish and do.

I will have a few pictures from the meet that a friend took, when he sends them to me. For now, I'll just give a run down of the results.

Their team, the Maumelle Marlins took 2nd place in the Central Arkansas Swimming League and they won the Sportsmanship award.

Zack is in the boys 6 and under catergory. He took 2nd in freestyle, 1st in backstroke (improving his time) and his relay team not only took 1st, they set a Meet of Champs record. Yeah for ZACK, COLE, HOLDEN, and LUKE!

Kammie had a busy meet and improved in some areas, and was tired out in others. She beat out some higher seeded girls time wise and took 2nd place in Freestyle--the first event. She got a bit of a late jump (picture later), but was able to improve her time and finish 2nd. There was some controversy later as they posted the official results and had her listed as 4th. But with a review request from our team coach, they figured out that she did indeed take 2nd. In Backstroke she took 5th. In Breaststroke she took 6th (she thought she might be DQ'd with her stream line at the start, but she wasn't). She took 3rd place in Butterfly. She was seeded higher time wise for the IM, but after swimming the 4 previous events, she placed 4th. And last but not least, her relay team took 2nd place. Go KAMMIE!

Kammie feel asleep immediately in the car on the way home and then these pictures are of her after we got home konked out on mom and dad's bed.
