Sectional Swim meet

s

 Here is part of the cheering crew for the sectional swimming meet for Laura.    Nana, Kara, Emily and Erin are big supporters in most of Laura's meets.  Mr. Ring (Coach) loves to follow Laura on in her swimming season and she loves it.  He has been her motivational coach for years.It warms my heart when the two of them are together.  He is so impressed with her drive and he loves her dedication to the sport.  He's such a wonderul man and is so nice to all our kids.  There was a funny moment during the meet when Laura was drinking some honey and she pointed up to Mr. Ring to show him.  We all loved it.

  Here is Laura with one of the other members of the swim cult posing.

 Laura made the podium for the 100 Free.  It is such a big deal, especially for a Freshman.  The States are next week.  Its so exciting to watch.  I love to watch her compete because she has this smile on her face the whole day long.  She goes up and down the pool deck talking to her teammates and just a continual series of laughs all day long.  Except when she is on the block waiting for the race to start...at that point, the kid is all business.  I mean it, dont talk to her during her mental warm-up for the event, she's in a trance.
