Championships:
This year’s championship meet was awesome! We had a lot of really fast swimmers from both the men’s and women’s teams, and a few records were broken at the meet which was awesome to watch. I swam the 500 freestyle, the 400 IM, and the 200 backstroke. I was really happy with all of my swims, but I was especially excited about my 500 freestyle because I swam a best time. But my favorite part of the entire meet was getting to spend time with my senior class at their last meet of their swimming and diving careers. I will miss them all so much next year!
