Ripon vs. Tracy and Modesto

Our first home meet was Saturday. Ripon's swimmers were full of energy and ready to take on the Tracy Tritans and Modesto Sharks.
My own swimmers were excited and nervous! The coaches did a great job building the energy level up, even my two quiet kids were raring to go!
The Medley Relay started the day. I've never heard so many people cheering for 7/8 year old C and D teams! My enthusiasm began watching Rachel's A team compete in their Medley Relay. What a group of hard working talented girls!
Rachel was up on Butterfly again! We love to watch her go!



It was a good day for the Crews. Rachel scored third place in the Fly, Breast and 100 Free. She earned two first place ribbons with her fabulous relay teams! Bret took 6th in the Breast Stroke. Lilly shaved all of her times this week. 2.90 seconds off her fly, 2.74 off her backstroke, and .29 off her 50 free.

On Monday's the kids get their ribbons out of the box. Lilly was thrilled to find a pink ribbon in her folder! The pink is for 4th place in her 100 Yard Freestyle Relay. Pink - I think she'd like to earn one of those each time, who needs blue, or red - when you can have pink!!

Well, more practices this week and then we are off to the Sea Dog Invitational this Saturday.

I loved being there seeing the kids. I am very impressed and proud of each of them! Lots of hard work! The excitement level high ~ wished I had my ear plugs a few times, the crowd is very supportive! Great pics!
