Fortunately, the Ryans were there at this particular meet in Thousand Oaks, so we could share their EZ-Up the Sun. and Mon. we were there to race. BTW, Justin wouldn't have been alone if we didn't go, because the guy knows more people on other teams than anyone else I know! (Parents from Palm Springs and Temec were hanging out with us and stopping by).
The 3 RST members who represented the team well: Mia Ryan, Summer Medina, and Marcia Ryan.
Even though we only had 3 RST members, they earned us over 255 "splash points" as you can see on this paper. (I know it's more than that because this was not counting Marcia's top 3 placing in the 200 free). When we left, RST was ranked 4th in the "small team" category! In most of the 6 events each girl entered, they placed high enough to earn points for the team. Way to go, girls!
Because you have to warm up under a coache's supervision, you have to approach a coach there and ask if you can warm up with their team. We had the good fortune of warming up with Coach Todd, of COTO (Coyotes from La Brea). He was really nice to the girls and even commented on their swimming during the meet. He told the girls to be sure to tell him "Hi!" at the next meet they see him at.
Hopefully, those of you who did an away meet this holiday weekend had as good a meet as we did!
