Chappy won his heat of the 100 back this morning with a time of 56.40...a new personal best!!! :)

And, you all are lucky, because I happened to record it to share:



I had some of my peeps take pictures as well, so I will share them as soon as I get them. For now, here's one that Lala took earlier today:



Good Luck in the 200 Chapster!

Trials start tomorrow!!

Chappy's seeded 30th in the 100 back and 22nd in the 200 back.

He'll be swimming Monday June 30th, and Thursday July 3rd...and others depending on whether he makes finals of not. (I have faith, Craiggers!)

I'll be trying to keep this as updated as possible while I'm here in Omaha, so keep an eye out. :)
