Here is the last blog from the Western Zones Meet

--Yesterday was a long day, too long to have time to blog. Matt swam the 100 back and dropped 2 seconds and placed 2nd. It was a fast group of kids! Just 30 minutes later Matt swam the finals in the 100 free. He swam well and placed 6th, not his favorite swim. Then Matt swam the anchor leg of the 200 free relay. The IES Relay placed 4th. In the end IES also won the Sportsmanship Award for the whole meet!!

--Today Matt and Emily both swam the open water race at Wanauma Bay. This was a 1K race, and Emily's first and Matt's second open water race ever. Matt took first in his age group in 19 minutes and change! Em got overwhelmed(thinking about the sharks) and cut out of the race early. The Bay was gorgeous and after the race the IES team went and jumped off the cliff into the water. What a cool day! 5 days of swimming over.

Thanks for doing the blog.
