28th Marlin Invitational Results a.k.a Nate's awesome weekend

This weekend was the biggest meet of Nate's season. It is the invitational hosted by our team so its the only meet where he swims on both Saturday & Sunday. Nate swam 9 events this weekend and he got his personal best time in EVERY event!! He took some signficant time off several events. I'm so excited for him and proud of him.

He has been working really hard in practice (most of the time) and its obviously paying off. He's still not the most focused 8 year old on the team. After every event he insisted on visiting the concession stand for a candy reward. I'm sure he'd swim even better if he didn't load up on sugar between each race but he still did amazing!

Here are his results:
Saturday:
Medley Relay- 2nd place 1:32.19
50 Free- 17th place 47.40
25 Fly- 10th place 23.17
100 IM- DQ 1:58.56
25 Back- 13th place 25.30

100 Free Relay- 2nd place 1.21.24
50 Back- 11th place 56.06
25 Breast- 11th place 28.23
25 Free- 10th place 19.88

At the beginning of the meet, Nate said he wanted a new sweatshirt. I told him if he swam good I'd buy him one. He definitely earned his sweatshirt this weekend!
