Alex and Emma were both fortunate enough to be invited to swim for the Rensselaer team. Just because you are on the team doesn't mean you'll be swimming at the conference meet. Nolan, for instance, didn't swim.
Emma swam in five events. She got first in both the medley and free style relays for 8 and under. I think she got first in the backstroke too. It was a very close finish. According to the timing board, she finished first but that wasn't the official result and sometimes the swimmers don't hit the pad hard enough to record the time right away. Regardless, it was very good b/c it's difficult to get first at conference in an individual event. Emma also got second in 50-yard free and 4th in the breaststroke.
Alex did very well also, he got 2nd in the 11-12 age boys medley relay and 4th in breaststroke.
Emma - 8 and Under
| Event | Time | Place |
|---|---|---|
| 100-yd Medley Relay | 1:32.21 | 1st |
| 50-yd Free | 44.55 | 2nd |
| 25-yd Backstroke | 21.75 | 2nd |
| 25-yd Breast stroke | 27.62 | 4th |
| 100-yd Free Relay | 1:19.28 | 1st |
Alex - age 11-12
| Event | Time | Place |
|---|---|---|
| 200-yd Medley Relay | 2:27.21 | 2nd |
| 50-yd Breast stroke | 43.53 | 4th |
Over all, Rensselaer got 2nd in the Meet. It's great for the kids to be involved in but it's nice when it's over!
Edit: Emma ended up in 2nd place in the backstroke. 1/10th of a second behind the first place finisher.
