This weekend I watched a great high schooler in action: Ashley Danner. She's 16, and swam to a 1:01.5 in the 100 ***. Last year, she was an automatic all-american with a 1:02.6. She also qualified for senior nats in the 50 and 100 free and 200 ***. But a 1:01 isn't too shabby for a 16 year old. Great pullouts and breakouts and a silky smooth stroke. :groovy:

Me too. My 50 *** time is 59.9. I only broke 1:00 when they let us do that dolphin kick. :rofl: :yawn: But I had to watch the race. Ashley swam right before "Rude Hormonal Fortress" who reminded me (again) that she kicks my butt in the 50 ***.
Heather: You changed it again!!! Your backstroke looks great too. I am going to go nominate you.

Back to the flyer ... I thought it didn't load ... I wish that were me, but alas it isn't ... You can tell because I wear the bodyskin ... :joker: (yeah, that's the only reason) :rolleyes:

Well, I know you're not overly fond of Natalie Couglin, so it ain't her. Kristina has a different prom dress. So it must be Beth, Swimr4Life. :rofl:

Natalie is alright, I just thought her book did not portray her well ... I don't like it when people don't take responsibility for their own lives and blame other people ...
Actually it's Katie Hoff ... When/If I get around to taking and loading pictures of myself swimming I'll add those ... it certainly won't be an underwater shot like that, and probably won't look like that, but I'll try ...
