Swim Meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday we WON OUR SWIM MEET AGAINST KENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Now I can see why you might be thinking " So they won, so what? No big deal!" But winning a swim meet for Twin Lakes is like BIG because we haven't won a meet for over 3 years, AND Kent swim team hasn't LOST a meet in 15 years, so the pool that never wins beat the pool that always wins 382 to 362!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were planning on just going home because we thought we were going to lose, but here's what happened. ( I'm so sorry I didn't get any pictures, but my camera was dead. :( )

Scene: Twin Lakes Pool. Everyone is really REALLY pumped up, because we want the score and the score has been  surprisingly SUPER close the WHOLE time, at one point we were actually TIED. That is SUPER rare for a swim meet. The whole swim team is in their swim suits, hair wet, cold, around the pool, waiting for the score. We had the last race a minute ago, and the staff is calculating the score. I am standing next to two of my fellow swim-mates, Emma and Alex ( 12 and 11 ) , there is music on, and we are all dancing....

Emma: Oh my gosh, the suspense is KILLING me!!!!!

MG- I know, couldn't they just hurry up with the score?

A boy walks through the crowd with an envelope

MG- OMG!!!! Here they come with the score!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The crowd falls silent, and the score reader opens the envelope with the score. The music ceases. )

Score-reader- We have our score. Kent Swim Team....362...........Twin Lakes Swim Team.......382!!!!!

Everyone jumped in the pool, even the coaches, and they had their clothes on!!!!! Everyone goes CRAZY, because this is BIG news!!!!!! Everyone is screaming and yelling and cheering and is just SO happy, and THEN fireworks go off in the distance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you would NOT believe the faces of the Kent swimmers! They were SHOCKED!!!!!!!! The coaches on that team were literally open-mouthed!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, it was THE BEST day of my ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
