Past Halfway

Day 2 has come to a close!

It was an outstanding night for the Bobcats. It began with the 200 Medley Relay (men finishing 3rd and woman 6th) and continued on into the individual races.  Ashley Kirkhart had a strong performance in the 400 IM along with Mark Mattis who finished 2nd with a time of 4:14.  The 100 fly was up next with Vivian Minkemeyer looking strong, Thomas Bartleman finishing 4th (52.17), Adam Brumley finished 12th and Nick Tworek 14th.  The 200 Free was to follow when Jeff Dye finished 3rd with a 1:44.79, Thomas Bartleman 8th, Phil Fisher 11th and Mark Mattis 18th.  The 100 breaststroke had two outstanding performances from Ellen Denton, Rachael Bailer and Max Garner.  Bailer touched the wall in 1:09.80 finishing 5th and Denton was 15 with a 1:14.42 and Garner was 1:01.58 with a 3rd place finish.  The 100 back was the final individual event with Ashley Kirkhart finishing 11th, Adam Brumley 10th, and Jeff Dye WINNING with a 52.42!  The final event on the evening was the 800 free relay.  The women finished 9th and the men had another strong performance with a 3rd place finish.

After the session concluded the Howard Family treated the team to a wonderful dinner at Fire Mountain.  Many other parents joined the team in celebrating our accomplishments thus far and fueling their bodies for the final day tomorrow.  Thank you to the Howard Family!

Tomorrow is the final day of competition!  Let's finish this thing STRONG!
