Mady's group lining up for their races
Chandler is smiling because he's done
Showing off her ribbonMadelyn and Chandler's last swim meet of the season went really well. We have the givens: sweat dripped down my back the whole time, parking was a nightmare, it lasted a long time, and Eli and Libby got bored. Put all that aside because Mady and CJ did great!
It was the butterfly meet, a stroke that I have found awkward as long as I can remember. Chandler doesn't quite get it either, and that is why he wasn't on a relay team. But, Madelyn is really good! She doesn't look like a fish fighting for a breath when she is doing the stroke, she actually looks they way you are supposed to look.
Chandler placed second, which surprised him and I both. Madelyn placed third in the individual. But for the first time in the season, she was on a relay. Her place was B-4, meaning she was actually the 5th fastest on the team. When it was finally her turn to swim, her team was in last. She swam so well, that she won it for them. She got her team a first place ribbon.
I am so proud of how Chandler and Madelyn swam through out the season. They didn't always want to go to practice or the meets, but they always did. They worked so hard and they are so much better than when the year started! I'm not sure I'll be able to convince Chandler to do it again next year, but I bet Madelyn will do it. The Lord knows I'm tired of sitting out in the sun everyday.
