It's been a month since the last swim meet. We have been invited to travel to Cedar City for their Pumpkin Invite. It's also Reganne's birthday, General Conference, and the St George Marathon. Ryder decided one day was enough for him. Friday afternoon we headed off to Cedar City with plenty of time to kill. What we didn't count on was hitting the four way stop in Washington which was backed up. We were now running late and Ryder started to stress.
We made it with 5 minutes to spare before warm ups. The pool started churning and the kids started swimming. The officials all gathered to get credentials checked and deck assignments. The heat sheets were finally printed and handed out. One minor problem Ryder's name was no where to be found. Luckily I was still at the computer table and they quickly tried to resolve the issue and entered him into 3 out of the 4 events.
However, there was a larger problem only 6 kids on our team were actually assigned to swim. The other 15 were not listed. Confusion & Craziness started as they tried to resolve the problems. The head referee for the meet stepped into mix and declared that the meet would start on time. All swimmers that were not listed on the heat sheet would not be allowed to compete tonight. Here we are with 15 kids + parents that had traveled from St George and couldn't swim.
