I posted about H going to 2008-2009 State Championships for swimming, well the meet was today, and H did a bang-up job! He took 1st (YUP, that is FIRST) for all three of his heats. Even thoogh he came in first for his heat, he still had some tough boys to beat. Overall he came in:
13th out of 33 for 25 meter freestyle
18th out of 44 for 50 meter freestyle
12th out of 44 for 25 backstroke
He will get a ribbon for placing in the top 12 for backstroke, but no ribbons or medals for the other two races. He is very proud of himself for winning his heats. If you all don't know what that means, they have 33 swimmers and only 8 can swim at a time, so they have 5 heats in order to have all 33 swim, so H beat out 7 other swimmers in his heat to get the first ribbon. He is turning into a fine little swimmer, but this summer it looks like he is going to work with the diving team. I hope I will be able to breath when I see him up on the high diving board! Hope you all had a great weekend as well.
