Regionals 2022

The big regional swim meet was today. Bode's relay teams went in with a long-shot chance of qualifying for state. There are four regions, and the top 21 times from the relays qualify for the state meet next week. Bode's first event was swimming the butterfly leg of the medley relay. The team shed five seconds off their time and finished in 1:45. They currently have the 18th best time, but there is still one more regional meet, which will be on Saturday. We will have to wait and see if they get to swim at state. Bode's next event was the 200-IM. Below is the video.

He swam amazingly well and finished in 2:10, five seconds faster than his previous best time. He then had a short rest before the 100-fly. Below is the video.

Bode swam a 57.16, over a second off his previous fastest time (which he swam last week at districts). The final event was the 4 x 100 relay. The team came in with a 3:42 best time, and they shocked us all by swimming a 3:32. As with the 200 medley relay, they have a long-shot chance to make the state meet.

Bode swam the second leg of the race, and his split was 53.1, another personal best. After the race, the team posed for a nice picture.

We should know by Saturday night if the boys get one more swim or not. Either way, we are very proud of how well Bode swam during his first season in high school. Way to go, big man :-)
