Swim Meet at MHS

Tonight I attended my first ever swim meet to watch my cousin Rachel Ford swim.  Her mom and I are 1st cousins so I guess that makes us 1st cousins once removed. Right Trissa?  It was really interesting watching and learning a little about the sport of swimming.  Rachel is an awesome swimmer!!  Tonight she took 1st place in the IM and 2nd in the freestyle, missing the 1st by like a hundredth of second or something like that. It was really close anyway. 
I've never tried to shoot pictures of swimming before, so they're not super great. 
I think next time, I'll try a little faster shutter speed. But it still was a lot of fun to watch.
 Rachel is in lane 4 in the above picture. This is the IM which she took 1st in.

 Checking her score. She won by a lot!

 Rachel has a really fast start. She's mid air and the other girls haven't even left the block yet.
 She hits the water before everyone else.

 In Lane 5 here.

 You can really see how much she is ahead at the start here.
 She spots us in the crowd.  Next to  Rachel is her mom, my cousin Trissa.
