STATE CUT!!!!! She did it, bitches! State Cut is 1:10.69, she had 1:11.67 ...she swam 1:08.52. More than a 3 second drop. incredible. that's over 11 seconds since the start of the season -almost unheard of in a year-round swimmer's best stroke.

Better still, she came in 4th, just ahead of the now deposed #4 breaststroker on the team (The Breaststroke Battalion took 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and a few other spots in the top 16). only 4 from each team can swim in the final tomorrow, so SG is in the finals (fastest heat) and the other girl (sad for her but great for SG) only gets to swim in the consolation heat.

She also dropped 5 seconds on her IM and came in 7th, so is in the fastest heat of Finals in that too. And in her two relays, she also dropped time on her splits (and was again faster than the former #4 in the breaststroke -they keep leapfrogging each other, though, so chances are she'll be back to #5 tomorow. but hopefully still in the points....)


One of her relays got through to finals tomorrow too, the other had the right time to, but they are reserve because we already filled our allotted number of spots.
