I've told her (in the past) help is coming. Between (last year's returnees and this year's incoming freshmen) we've got the talent to put together a real good state team and to get some relays as well as individuals back (for the finals).

The past is what’s in your mind, the present is what’s happening, and the future is to what is to come. You never will have what is to come unless you forgive and let go of the pain of the past. Then and only then you will be able to live in the present. Your future is still unclear, but now you know that there will be one.

Radford hosted the Region III meet three years ago and I actually swam there back in the day and it always was a really fast pool.

Lafayette's girls won last year and should be strong again this year. All of their relays are ranked either first or second with some really fast times.

We picked up a pile of points from the relays. Most of the girls are happy, but some are disappointed they didn't get a chance to come back for the finals (today), especially our 200 free relay team. I don't know if we could have beaten Lafayette (the 200 free relay champion), but I would have liked to have gone up side-by-side and raced them.

I was hoping to have the team place in the top five. That was my goal.
