State Swim Meet

Last week Ellie went to the Utah State Longcourse Swim Meet. She earned a state qualifying time in 7 events, but was limited to swimming only 6. She did amazing! Over 4 days she swam 6 individual events and 3 relays. She dropped time in every race. She got 7th place overall in 100 fly and 13th place overall in 50 fly. Her Medley Relay came in 4th place. She almost placed in the finals in the  200 free, coming in 17th place. She swam so hard!

100 M Free: dropped 4 seconds
200 M IM: dropped 10 seconds
100 M Fly: dropped 11 seconds
200 M Free: dropped 1 second
50 M Free: dropped 1 second
50 M Fly: dropped 6 seconds

We also met Summer Sanders while we were at the meet (former USA Olympic swimmer). I was watching a race and started small talk with the lady next to me, only to realize I was talking to Summer Sanders! She knew a girl on Ellie's relay team and talked to them about their race and gave them all high fives. She is a super sweet lady and it was crazy to see her just as a normal person at the swim meet. I was curious why she was there, and after some internet research, we found out she lives in Park City and her 2 kids swim for Park City Swim Club. So, she was there watching her kids swim just like the rest of us.
