Du Quoin vs. Centralia 7/06/10

  Centralia is a big town with lots of cool stuff, but despite that, they have one of the worst swimteams in our league. I swam the 50 free, 50 back, and 100 free and won all of them. Our relay team also won all of our races. This was because Centralia doesn't have any boys in our age group. We wo this meet 457-130. I can't wait till the last meet on 7/15/10 which is against the great Marion Marlins.

Larry Jukes Freestyle Classic 6/26/10

   The Larry Jukes Freestyle Classic was hosted at the Mt.Vernon Swimming Pool and is like a swimmeet only all the swimmteams from the SISL (Southern Illinois Swimming League) come to it and the only events were 100 Freestyle, 50 Freestyle, and 25 Freestyle.  In case you've been wondering what the 100, 50,and 25 means, here is the answer. An 100 is four laps of the pool, 50 is two laps, and 25 is one lap. Also a short name for butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, and freestyle, is fly, back, breast, and free. Anyway, I was under the weather yesterday morning so I wasn't able to do the 100 free. Now I wish I had. Also the theme for this Classic was "The Best Thing in Life is Free (Freestyle)" 

Du Quoin vs. Mt.Vernon 6/24/10
