Dear Journal,

I can’t believe it is the end of day three already! This meet is flying by! Anyway, today was an awesome day for our swimmers. Diana Harlow, who is fifteen years of age, qualified for the consolation finals in the 400 IM for the very first time. She is currently seated 11^th and we all wish the very best for her tonight. Consequently, her sister, Lauren Harlow, will also be swimming the 400 IM in the finals, where she is seated 8^th. Swim fast! In addition, 3 of our boys will be representing our team in the consolation finals for the 200 backstroke. Good luck boys!! The boys’ 800 free relay is seated 9^th going into the consolation finals, which was a nice ending to the morning session. I swam two personal bests in the 100 freestyle and the 50 butterfly. I was very happy, and it was my last day for individual events. I would love to go on, but I have to cheer for Diana!! Finals is about to start!!!
