Finally an overdue post about Jamahl's state swim meet that was a few weekends ago. It was a LONG weekend with 10 hour days at the pool but it was a great one. Because Jamahl does other sports besides swimming, he had a fairly short summer swim season so we didn't know what to expect when it came to the championship weekend. However, when push came to shove he achieved exactly what we was hoping for. He cut time in everything he swam, he placed in the top 16 in all five of his individual events placing as high as 7th in his 200 IM, his relay team took two fifth place finishes, and most of all he soaked up a great experience having fun with his friends. I love the fact that Jamahl can see the big picture, not get too upset about anything and feel good about his accomplishments at the moment instead of getting caught up in the "should haves." He was dedicated to the pool for the time he had available this summer and it showed that weekend. We just could not be prouder of this kid!
