As a Dad I have to occasionally brag about my children. I don’t do enough of it but I am so sick over the incompetence of our government that I must focus on the future leaders of our country. My kids are building a solid foundation for a comeback for this great nation!
This past weekend my daughter turned 13 but not before she swam her final State Meet in the 11-12 age group in Fort Collins Colorado. Her results:
• 100 Back 7th overall in the State of Colorado
• 200 Back 7th overall in the State of Colorado
• 200 Free 8th overall in the State of Colorado
• 500 Free 11th overall in the State of Colorado
• 100 Free 18th overall in the State of Colorado
• 50 Back 20th overall in the State of Colorado
These swimmers that make the State meet are to be congratulated just for that honor. Making the top 20 puts them in a special category in itself. Being my daughter that makes me extremely proud and gives me hope for the youth of America; priceless!
Taylor is off to swim in the Sectionals this week where he will compete with some of the best swimmers in this country. I am proud he has qualified and is seeing results of all the hard work he has put into his sport. 5 – 8000 yards of swimming per day is no small feat.
Swimming is a sport of extreme discipline and I am so proud of these two future leaders of this great nation. No matter how each meet turns out, these two children are always my personal best! A Dad’s prayer…
