Jordan had to battle being sick this weekend but raced on Sunday to a best time in her 50 back!  Her skills and strokes are strong in the water, and she will bounce back quickly!  She toughed it out to finish her 400 Free, coming in 4^th!  Excellent work!

Olivia started the meet with a 19 second drop in her 200 Free, and not bothering with any times in the 2:40 range, she decided to drop into the 2:39’s! (This is averaging under 40 seconds a 50).  She went onto a swim-off in her 50 fly, doing a best time in that, and then on Sunday got to swim her 100 Fly twice, with gutsy swims and taking off 1.5 seconds in the final.  Way to go Olivia!
