Click on the arrow to view Katie's zone swim (50 free) at Oakland University last March (We love hearing Lindsay in the background cheering her on!!!!). After waiting hours for her brief swim (hundreds warmed up in the pool at the same time)....she missed the whistle for her event. The quick "slide" starts were distracting and three swimmers missed the whistle in her heat and had terrible starts. Katie completely missed the race and was beyond devastated until she learned she was allowed to swim in open heats the next day along with kids 12-17 years-old. The scoreboard posted a great time of 30.31 (she didn't hit the touch board), but two stopwatches clocked her at 29.78 which was a record! Katie finished 13th overall - the highest finish for any Tiffin swimmer this year! Swimmers qualified from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, and Wisconsin or PA.
The Tiffin Swim team (Seneca Aquatic Klub) has seven meets this summer....June 18, June 20-21 (Findlay), June 25, July 11-12 (Wooster), July 16, July 18 (Cedar Point Open Water), and July 28 (Champs). She plans to ride her bike (2.5 miles) to the park, have 30 minutes of dryland and an hour in the pool Monday-Thursday 8-9:30 AM. GO KATIE!
She looks so tall! Way to go cuz!! :)
