The Newton Girls Can Swim
We had our third swim meet this weekend. Although our team lost the meet, Maddy and Regan swept their events. Maddy swam freestyle, breast, and IM. In breast stroke, she broke our competitors pool record and our own team record, and her freestyle relay broke our competitors pool record and they again broke our team record. Her IM was very strong as well. She knocked about 15 seconds off of her seed time and qualified for allstars. Her goal is to get a Ponderosa time in all events. She is very close.
Regan swam breast, back and fly. She qualified her back for allstars and is very close to Ponderosa in breast. She has already qualified her freestyle for Ponderosa. The days and therefore the water are getting warmer, so getting faster times is getting harder and harder. Regan made some huge gains for her team in the freestyle relay to bring them in for a win. It's so fun to watch them do so well! 2 more meets to go before we swim divisionals and invitationals. Hard to believe we're coming to the end of the season already!
