Summer Swim League – GRPA State Championship
After arriving at the event, and purchasing the heat sheet we determined the follow…

9/10 – Girls Medley Relay, A Team – Bailey (Fly) – Seeded 3rd
Right in line with my prediction coming in, but I still felt they had a shot to win it all...and the seed times showed they weren't far off the top 2 teams...

9/10 – Boys Medley Relay, B Team – Bear (Fly) – seeded 11th
Bear’s group was seeded 11th and thus would require a strong swim to make it into the final 8, but not undoable…

9/10 – Girls Fly – Bailey – Seeded 7th
Once I saw this, my expectations changed. With her seeded 7th, and getting to dive off of blocks, I felt pretty sure she’d have a shot at making finals.

9/10 – Boys Fly – Bear – Seeded 14th
Even with his personal best time, Bear would have been seeded 11th, so this was going to be a tough field for him to make top 8

9/10 – Girls Free Relay – Bailey – seeded 14th
Need strong swims from all 4 to make finals, not likely

9/10 – Boys Free Relay – Bear – seeded 16th
See above

Note: seed info is from memory and I might be off a bit...
