·         200 Yard Medley – 2^nd Place

·         Mixed 200 Yard Medley – 8^th Place

The meet was a 4 day event at the IU N.atatorium, where the Olympic Trials have been held.

I went to cheer him on during the day for his mile event...this was his best event in college so it was special for me to witness him swim this one in competition.

Then I brought the girls to watch daddy compete. You can tell they loved it.

Mike's college swim teammate also competed, Kip.

Proud of their daddy

Swimmers take your mark...

Mike did an amazing job at Nationals, I'm so proud of him for all he's accomplished in swimming this year!
