Dear Journal,

Well swimmers, coaches, family, and friends, the meet has finally come to an end!!! It has been a great and incredible meet!! I was placed in the 200 girls’ 200 free relay and we placed 12^th this morning. This past winter nationals our same relay was trying to make it back, and it was very disappointing to us when we discovered that we had placed 19^th. However, we made it back!!! We are so excited. Two of our girls whom are both sisters, both made it back tonight in the 50 meter backstroke. The older sister is currently in 8^th and the younger is seated 9^th. On the boys side, Jason made it back to finals in the 200 meter butterfly and is currently in 6^th. Jack on the other hand is 7^th heading into the finals for the 50 meter backstroke. Well, I have to get ready to swim with my relay team. But before I go, I just wanted to say how much I’m going to miss the seniors going into college next year. They are all great people and I love them!!! Until next year,
