Hanama Bay is definitely on our list of things to do if the Tropical Storm doesn't get to bad. Sunday thru Tuesday the weather is supposed to be pretty rough, so might have to wait till Wednesday.

Well, here is today's blog:
Today Matt had the 400 free, which hasn't typically been his best race. He went in to prelim's seeded 11th, I think.He dropped 10 seconds in prelims, swam a 4:19, another senior sectional cut. He ended up being seeded 1st in finals with a 4:19. We thought he had definitely swam his best race after that, but he had more for finals. He dropped 2 more seconds in finals, swam neck and neck with one of his best friends from Hood River, ended up first with a time of 2:17.

According to Joe, just off an IES record, but dropping 12 seconds in one day was still impressive!
He also swam the backstroke leg in the 200 IM relay, IES placed 4th.

Good luck to D.C. at the meet this weekend!
