excellent swims
problem with HS meets is swimmers are limited to 2 individual events
they also have to make regionals in those events to go to state
I'm sure she could break several more records plus she's probably racing in the
Tyr Tracer Light Short John or the Speedo FS Pro Recordbreaker Kneeskin
Now, the real problem is that they discriminate against the endurance swimmers. Sometimes, the 500 free is controlled sprint compared to the 400 LCM free. I think that I could have had a shot a HS state title if there was a 200 fly or a Top 6 finish in the 400 IM. If you don't have any sprinting ability, don't waste your time with HS swimming. Maybe distance kids should do the freshman year of HS swimming just for the experience. After that, don't bother.
