rest of day 2 prelims

After our relay, we had some downtime while the 400 im's took place.  Then Jenna's 100 fly was up...as previously menitoned before Jenna went a 58 at PSAC's before going 59 ... well, she smashed her lifetime best (again!) from lane 1 with a 57.43 ... awesome, didn't quite make it back into finals, but we were all really pumped about the swim.

Our 400 medley relay was really great...Terray went a 56.8 (2nd fastest ever...3rd fastest of all backstrokers), Britt went 1:04.2, Jenna split a 56.6 and Sam went a 52.7 ... but turns out sam left -.02 early and our time didn't stand ... just one of those things.  We spent a lot of time working on the relay exchanges leading up to PSAC's and NCAA's ... we had to be moderatly agressive in our effort to make it into the top 8 (if our time stood we would have ended up 9th) ... althought that relay was dq'd I really am proud of the way the team took it ... in stride.  When these things happen it is all about how an individual handles it and moves forward.  I have all the confidence in the world that we will rebound well as a team for tonights 200 free relay as well as tomorrow and Saturday's swims.

GO HAVEN!!
