February 25th



Talk about a nervous time. My son Troy is on the highschool swim team. The state meet was this weekend. He had been sick for a week worrying about it. They shaved most all the hair on their bodies to get ready for this big event. It was amazing to see so many good swimmers in the same building at one time. You all should be proud you made it to state. Way to go!!! There was a man there that used to swim for Wyoming College and was in a skiing accident who was paralyzed from the waist down. He was there showing his support to all the kids.

Our highschool boys swim team took state championship. They have been working hard all year and were excited to see they were in the lead most the meet. What an accomplishment. You all rock!

My son took 8th in the 200 yard freestyle with a time of 1:53:60. Wooohooo! I am so proud fo you, Troy! You keep up the good work and strengthening your body and you will kick some butt next year. I know you will!

It is way awesome to see such an amazing bond between these young men. Wow, they have been together for 3 years now. It is the team work that help you all win. Keep that up and teach the younger ones who join the team next year.
