Skylar swam awesome at Tri-State!

Skylar had another really good swim meet today. She dropped time in every event she swam. She dropped 5 seconds in her 100IM and got second place! She almost had a 1st in her 25 breast. She was 1/2 a body length ahead of everyone when she hit the wall on the side of the pool (her goggles were full of water and she couldn't see) and just stopped and had to start all over again. Unfortunately, she ended up fourth even though it was a close race (1st had 26.15 and she had 26.52-still a lifetime best even after hitting the wall and stopping). She was so heart broken that she ran into the wall because she had that 1st place trophy in her hand! Because of that mishap, she ended up fourth in overall points and just missed out on a high point trophy (Each place you get in a race gives you a certain amount of points-1st gets 7, 2nd gets 6 and so on-and whoever has the most points at the end of the meet gets high point trophy, so so have to swim well in all of your events to get that)! She swam so well and had lifetime bests in everything, yet she was so sad at the end of the meet because she missed out on her trophy! I could not of been prouder of her, but that did not seem to matter to her. I keep telling her to remember she is only 7 and has a whole year left at 8 and under.
