Utah State Age Group Championships

Long course season has literally flown this summer.  It's time once again for the state championships.  Last year Ryder struggled with his times but what a difference a year makes.  He is growing, learning, and working hard.  Once again I am sidelined at home but Dave has it all under control.  They were off for another 4 day adventure to Kearns. 

Warm ups getting ready to start.

They had a great time and enjoyed their last age group championships.  Next year they all will move onto senior state.  The other thing that they have in common is they were exhausted.  They had a great meet but they definitely need to refuel and sleep.  Time to head home to relax until next month when short course starts.

Championship meets are a prelim in the morning and a final in the evening.

This is a whole lot of events to swim in a short period of time.  We are so proud of him and the hard work he puts into swimming every day.  Now it's time for a break.  Coach Mike told them to stay out of the water for the next 2 weeks and have some fun.  Let's see if he can to do it.

I also promise no pictures or blogs of swim for the next month.
