Congratulations to my teammate, (Queen!) Anne Dunivin for her three new American Records in the Women's 100-104(!!!) age group! She is the new record holder for the 200, 100, and 50 Meter Freestyle!! She rocked the pool at UGA today at the Classic City Georgia Masters Long Course Meet. :banana: :applaud: :ohyeah:
I'm so proud of you, Queen Anne!

That is really awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Amazing!!!! Please give Queen Anne a hug and congratulations from me!
Congrats Anne - first for continuing to swim and second for doing it so well. I'm inspired!
Here's the amazing thing I didn't mention in my original post: During her 200 Meter Freestyle race, as I was waiting to cheer Anne on at the end of the pool for her final turn, Anne's daughter came running up to me and asked me to stop Anne, and make her rest before finishing the race. I replied, "Why? She's doing great! She's swimming better and faster than she was at Maryland Nationals! If she needs to rest, she will!"
Sure enough, when she got to the end, she made the fastest turn and hardest push-off I have ever seen her make! I walked along as she swam her last lap, and I yelled "Go Queen Anne!!!" to her while encouraging the other swimmers to yell and clap as well. Anne is a bit hard of hearing, so she probably didn't hear any of it! When she hit the wall at the end of the race, what did she do? SHE KEPT GOING! Anne lost track of what lap she was on, and she just kept on swimming! A buddy of mine and I both jumped in the pool at the same time to get her to stop. You should have seen the smile of surprise on her face!
The clincher was hearing Chief Official, Ed Saltzman crack a joke about Anne being like the "Energizer Bunny" as she set the American Record. :lmao:
