Your kind thoughts and wishes are all very appreciated. My wife Susan was in the Montreal pool today standing close by a young woman (early 20's) as she was interviewed by CBC. She stated that this was her third Olympic trials (over 12 years) and she was finally going to the Olympics. She was absolutely vibrating, Susan said. The level of competition and dedication to one's sport is staggering. I get choked up easily ......

Tomorrow, she swims 200 IM and Saturday she swims 200 Breast (her best event...... she's going in seeded 18th)

a proud dad.
 
Daryl you must have a hard time keepin' buttons on your shirts!!!You have every right to be proud!!!I wish Katie all the best and I hope she makes it!!!!

Her best overall result was 20th in 200M Breaststroke. She got personal best times in all events except one. All in all, it was an incredible experience for a 15 year old. She is pumped and ready to train hard for another 4 years.

Thanks for asking.
 
Good stuff Tinn, congrats to Katie for a job well done. Four yrs. is a long time to train, I'm sure she'll be right up there with the best next time around.
 
Holy Geezz Tinn. 20th in the nation at her young age. That sure is something special. Along with you and Momma, your daughter must be very pleased with the results.


Thumbs up from the Onion Patch!!!!!
