SARG Ice Breaker - day 2

Rachel started the day off with a bang...cutting a huge chunk off her 100 IM (swimming it in 1:35.97, which was a B time and within about three seconds of the BB time) and winning her heat! She added about 1 second on her 100 back and 4 1/2 seconds on her 50 fly, but she was conserving her energy for the 50 free. She swam the 50 free in 36.82 seconds...which was a divisional cut! It was also less than a second from the BB time, and she won her heat! Rachel came in 10th today in the 100 IM (which should get her a ribbon) and 14th for the 50 free. For the meet as a whole, she cut time in 6 of her 8 events, won three heats on individual events and one for the relay yesterday, made two more B times, and got the divisional cut (which was the last remaining goal we had set to accomplish this season.) Overall, I'd say this was THE meet of her season so far! Way to go, Rachel. You have put in a lot of work, started to really race when you race, and made some sacrifices that have hopefully been worth it. Now go get that divisional time in the 100 free!
