Jordan's 50M butterfly

11-12 boys relay team

The day has come and gone, and we are very happy at how Jordan did at the State Swim Meet. He went as hard as he could and bested all his times. Nerves always seem to play a big factor in these kind of competitions, but Jordan handled it well and was calm and collected.

For his first event he did the 50M butterfly and was the 16th fastest in the state of Iowa, he improved his time by a half a second. In the 200M medley relay the team was the 7th fastest in the state, the team improved their time by 5 seconds and he improved his fly time again by another half a second. A total of 1 second improvement at state for the fly. In his third event he was the 24th fastest kid in the state and he improved his 50M freestyle by .6 of a second. And then in his final event, the 200M freestyle relay, his group was the 5th fastest in the state, the team improved their time by 11 seconds (wow) and he improved his freestyle again and shaved a whopping two seconds off his previous time. In all he took off 2.6 seconds on his freestyle. Curt and I were speechless and very proud of him.

Way to go Jordan and I have a feeling we will see both the boys there next year. :)
