This was the last day of the meet. I had three events: the last leg of 400 freestyle relay, the 200 fly and 100 free.

We got 3:49.40 in the relay, which is one second off a Sectional time. My split was 53.1.

In the 200 fly I got 2:15.17. I improved 2½ seconds, and I got 6th place. I’m now five seconds from a Zone time.
Kate said my splits were “phenomenal”, especially my third 50.

I didn’t do so well in the 100 free; I got 54.04. At least I already got my Sectional time last night in the time trial.

In the 200 fly in finals I got 2:12.87, 2.3 seconds faster than I swam in prelims! I got 6th place. Now I’m only two and a half seconds off a Zone time. I’ll get it at Sectionals.

So now I have a 6th (200 fly), 7th (50 free), 7th (100 fly), 7th (200 free), 10th (200 IM) and 16th (100 free). Our team got 4th out of 52 teams.
