This past weekend Ian participated in the 2010 Marlin Invitational. It is an annual swim meet hosted by our swim team. The Marlins hosted 8 YMCA swim teams from all over the Metro Detroit area for this 2 day event. This is the only meet all year that Ian swims both Saturday and Sunday. He swam in a total of 2 relays and 8 individual events over the 2 days.
Brolan decided he would give Ian a little incentive to try and pump him up. He told Ian that for every event he beat his PR (personal record) he would give him $2. I'm sure that you can only imagine what happened...
Brolan now owes him $16! Every single event Ian swam in he beat his PR! He had a fantastic meet (and so did Nate D. for that matter)! We were so proud of him!

Most impressive if I do say so myself!
WOW! How excited and proud you must be! Great job boys!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I saw that Ian's got PRs in all his events too. Ian is definitely our butterflier! These boys are going to be wickedly good in the Medley Relay in a year or 2. I wonder what the time is for States for 10 & unders. They may have a shot at it next year.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like you figured that camera out. Those are excellent. Proud of that little man!
