The girls performed well at Webb City and came away with wins over Webb, Joplin & Nevada. We were only able to win 2 individual races (Olivia - diving & Maddie - 50 free) and 2 relays (Medley & 400 Free), but our depth was too much for the other teams. This was also a good meet because very girl on the team had the opportunity to pick their events and swim individual races. Early in the year, the most important thing is to figure out where to put everyone and what everyone’s strength is. I think there were several pleasant surprises at the meet. I comtinue to be impressed with our new girls on the team. Megan Pool has already made 1 State cut and adds some more power to our breast & IM events. Boo in her 500 is only 7 - 8 seconds away from making State. Courtney Horn & Katie McCormick will add good depth in their events as well. We have several freshman that will battle with our older girls for the traveling team and top 3 - 4 in events. It is exciting to see how much our team will grow from our new additions. I like the competition within the team as well. The girls seem to push each other, but keep in mind that they are all on the same team.
