Close your eyes...queue up a
slow, powerful, thunderous beat in your mind; one that makes
you think of a wave so massive and with such momentum that it can't
be stopped...maybe the "Rocky" theme,
like right when he began to train again and you just knew he was
going to conquer the world...or that song by The Call,
Let the Day Begin...yeah, that's a great
one. (And no, the theme from SpongeBob does not conjure up the same
feelings!)
That's how we felt on
Thursday night as the 800 and 1500 were being swum...a strong,
overwhelming and growing sense that greatness was upon us.
It was and here is how we
started it:
800 FR- 5th
Rebecca Postoll, 6th Jenni Ciesielski, 9th Ryan Jolley, 12th Kailey
Austin
1500 FR- 1st
Jimmy Yoder, 9th Jack Gunning, 10th Scott Berry, 11th Gabriel
Bellott-McGrath, 12th Nathon Burwick and Lucas Wyatt, 14th Tyler
Harper
The weekend was not just fast
swimming, as was made clear by our GA ZONE Representatives, Jimmy
Yoder (New State Record in the 400 FR!, 1st in the 200 Fr, 1500 Fr,
100 & 200 Fly), Nathon Burwick, Taylor Weiss(100 and 200 Fly
winer) and Scott Berry but it was also a time of challenges
and racing despite some tough circumstances. When we go to the
State Championships, we are not just there to swim fast but also to
support each other and show everyone why we are the finest team in
Georgia!

It was hot. It was humid. We
had rain delays. Despite the circumstances, you swam great! You
congratulated your opponents and even amidst a few disappointments
you never failed to show your competition Respect and humility in
both your wins and losses.
