The meet is over... Update

Taylor swam the 800 free in 9:11:74 which is a sectional qualifying time! He raced like I have not seen in his free style in a long time. He came in 13th of 24 and left 6th overall in his age group!

His finals in the 100 backstroke had him seeded 2nd and the times were 1st at 1:03:12, 1:05:14 (Taylor),1:05:42,1:05:45, 1:05:46, 1:05:54, 1:06:97, and 1:07:44. So as expected it was close. In the end he was 5th overall and he dropped his time to a sectional 1:04:54! Excellent swim with great competition!!

Overall a very successful meet for Taylor and a deserved break will be welcome but he will be itching for the pool sooner rather than later. Justine and I will take any break we can get!!

Thanks for the comments!! Taylor is at the final party for the event and I will have him check them out after he gets home. They have a rafting trip before getting on the plane tomorrow. That's all from Portland...
