'nother meet, 'nother MISCA cut..... dropped 1.4 seconds in the 100 fly and didn't know she was swimming it until 10 minutes before the race (another swimmer was taken ill so they had to change the line-up because it was a close meet). plus.... that personal best was (a) recent and (b) swum in a "magic suit".
(MISCA is like a "practice" State meet -the times required are slightly lower, gives the swimmers a chance to race against lots with similar times in a championship environment for practice and also to help those who are close get their state cuts.)
btw last week she swam all freestyle -dropped 17 seconds in the 500 free (5%) nearly got a MISCA in that and in the 200.
There are 37 swimmers on the team. She is currently in the top 10 in every event (that's just about to change -tonight's results will drop her to #11 in the backstroke, althoug maybe not for long -that's her weak stroke and coach has determined to bring in someoutside help to sort her out!
-she was supposed to get her stated cut in that tonight, but was truly awful.)
next one is thursday....
