Meet of Champs 2012

This years Meet of Champs was held on July 21st at the University of Arkansas Little Rock (UALR). All four of my kiddos that were on the swim team participated. The 10 yr. olds and under participate in the morning and then 11 yr. olds and up in the afternoon. That made it an all day event for us. I was even a stroke and turn judge in the afternoon.

Spencer's 25 yard Freestyle...he is the one by the yellow lane rope in lane 5 (he took 5 seconds off his best time).

The morning session started late as they messed around with getting all the touch pads to work. When it came time to go get Jordan at home and take Kam, Zack and Spencer home, there wasn't time for Mom to go with them. She had to stay for a Stroke and Turn Judges meeting. James had to hurry and Jordan missed warm ups. In fact, James dropped Jordan off and Mom couldn't find her anywhere. She started to worry. Finally she found Jordan coming out of the pool area from the water. Coach Sarper had grabbed Jordan right as she arrived to swim on a relay team, because someone else hadn't shown up. Mom was sure Jordan wasn't swimming, so she looked everywhere but in the water. Her team took 3rd place (bronze). But we missed seeing her swim.
