an absolute emotional rollercoaster of a day, start to finish. here are some of the highs and the lows in no particular order:
HIGH - watching jake put together what was arguably the best race of his career...200 free - seeded in the 6th lane, wins it with a 1:48.21 (tied with the #1 seed charlie hogan, but still a win!) ranked 10th going into state!!!!!! I was on the deck timing his freshman year when he swam a great 500 to make it to state, and i was on the deck timing for this one..got pretty emotional - probably too emotional for an official timer:) lots of screaming, jumping up and down, a little crying, a lot of hugging jake.
HIGH - jake swimming a great 100 free with a time of 49.78 to make it to state ranked 20th
HIGH - brady swimming his best 200 free ever with a time of 1:55.9
low - brady missing the cut in the 500 free
HIGH - 400 free relay swimming a great race and making it to state: swim order= luis, brady, zac, jake in a 3:25.44 for a rank of 19th in the state.
low - no one else on the Lincoln team making it in an individual race - insanely fast field across the state this year, fastest cut times in the last 5 years at least...lots of near misses
HIGH - watching the other seniors, dos and stephen particularly, put together great races to take them to state one last time...
low - thinking i lost my camera with all the pictures of the day
HIGH - andy finding my camera in our bathroom at home...whoops!

what a great day, so glad jake and brady will experience a state meet together, a perfect way to cap off jake's high school career!
