Today is prelims day for the State Swim meet so am here cheering on my youngest son in his quest to make it to finals in the 100 butterfly.
Not sure if we parents are dedicated or just plain crazy but a number of us were here this morning at 6 AM waiting for the doors to open so we could get seats for all those coming to cheer on the team. Crazy part: doors didn't open until 10:15 and the parade of athletes doesn't start until 3:30 PM (another 47 minutes) with the swim events AFTER that!!
Our team is the defending state champs which is pretty cool considering only 4 years ago the team never won even a single meet all year long. They have come a LONG way!!
