Claire swam her breaststroke today at the Ponderosa Invitational. She came in 6th place out of 38 girls! This qualified her for the finals!
This is Claire's "I think you have taken enough pictures Mom" face!
In the finals, the announcer went to each lane and introduced the swimmer and which team they were from! This was such a special honor!
All pumped up to swim with the very best in North Houston!
Claire and her friend Addison. Both girls made it to the finals in breaststroke! Addison got 9th place and Claire pulled off 6th place again!
Being the 6th best swimmer for girls age 7-8 in North Houston gets you a medal to wear proudly around your neck! We could not be more proud of Claire today! Her hard work with almost daily swim practices and her dedication to this sport has gotten her the privilege of swimming with the best of the best and walking away with a medal! This time last year, Ponderosa was never even something we imagined Claire would be swimming in, let alone walking out with a medal around her neck! What a wonderful weekend God has blessed us with! Next year she will be swimming in the 9-10 year old girls so the requirements get harder but with her continued hard work, we may just be back to Ponderosa, who knows?!
