It is crazy busy at State. I coach all 7 sessions and Marshall officiates so I don't take any pictures or videos, which is a shame because I miss some great races. I got a pic of Amy and her good friends Anne Merie and McKenna. They are such cute girls and all swam so well. Amy had a really great meet. I wasn't expecting a lot because she had a great meet just 2 weeks before down at St. George but she surprised me again. She got 8th in the 1650 with a 19.53. She went a 2:09 in the 200 free and made it to consolation finals, which was the most surprising swim for her. Then that night at finals she dropped another second and went a low 2:08. I was blown away. The 500 was her best swim of the meet. She went a 5:44 in prelims and made it back to the championship final in 7th place. That night she went dropped another 3 seconds! I was so proud of her. Although she got 5th in the 1000, it was not the best swim. She went under 12 minutes barely with 11:59, but it was only 2 seconds than she was out in the 1650. I was so busy trying to coach my other swimmers that I didn't get her warmed up soon enough and she was waiting to do pace work, so I take some of the blame. Still, she had a great meet. She also swam in 2 of the relays and did an outstanding job. Scott really had a subpar meet. He just couldn't seem to get going. The one exception was his 500 free (it's a Buker thing apparently). He made it back to consolation finals and dropped 14 seconds for a 6:17. Afterwards we all met up at Pizza Pie Cafe, per tradition. Once all the stress of the meet is over, it is nice to get together and have some fun.
