This weekend is the first of 3 in a row where Spencer has swim meets. He did okay today, placing 2nd in the 25m free, 3rd in the 50m breast, 3rd in the 25m backstroke and 4th in the 100m free. Unfortunately, he had a disqualification in his 50m butterfly due to a false start. He's still improving his times which is a good thing. Tomorrow (Sunday), he will be pushing to achieve his Divisional cut times in both 50m free and 50m backstroke. If he makes the Divisional cut times, he'll go on to swim at the Divisional meet in March. If he doesn't make the cut times tomorrow, he can still try at the meet next weekend and the meet in Elkhart the last weekend of February. When (not if) he makes his cut times, I'll be sure to post those races here.
Here's his 25m freestyle, which he took 2nd place in today. His time of 17:20 seconds was very fast, and we would expect him to turn a 35-36 second 50m freestyle based on today's time. The Divisional cut time for th 50m freestyle is 37.49 seconds. With some good sleep and a carb-loading dinner tonight, he should do well tomorrow.
