Tonight was Skylar's swim team banquet and she made out pretty good! You see, Skylar's only goal for being on the swim team was to get a trophy. That has been her goal since she turned six. She had seen some old trophies of mine (that I got when I was 10 or 11) and decided that she wanted one as well. Anyway, I thought that she was going to get one as soon as she made it to Tri-State, because in the past, anyone who made it got a participation trophy. This year, they decided to give out water bottles instead. So she was crushed that she did not get a trophy. Then she missed out on a trophy at the meet by one point, getting 4rd instead of 3rd (previously explained!). But, I guess the coach gives out a high point trophy at the end of the year for the swimmer in each age group that scores the most points at all of the meets. Well, that person was Skylar for the 8 and under girls. Boy, was her mama proud! That means she did the best of all of the 8 and unders on the whole swim team throughout the whole year.
Skylar also got first place in the swim-a-thon this year, even though we toned it down by about half from last year! Here she is getting her prize for that. She got a $50 credit card and was immediately telling me what she wanted to buy with it.
Some of her ribbons that she won at the Tri-State meet!
