After school, we picked her up and traveled south to Red Wing to see the Wildcats and the Wingers swim off. We arrived early (horray!) so got to see the whole meet. Our friend, Jocelyn lead the audience in a beautiful singing of the national anthem. Then, Anders 200 Medley relay took 2nd. Anders swam really well in the second leg of the race and made up a little time.
His next event was diving where he took first place out of four divers. This was the first time I got to see him dive, so it was pretty exciting! He looked really strong and quite good at diving. His grandpa B would be proud!
Next event was the 200 freestyle relay. Anders swam the first leg and was the first swimmer to touch the wall in his leg. They ended up finishing 2nd to a very strong anchor of the Red Wing team. Connor Baar had just swam the 500 freestyle, so he was pretty tired in his final leg of his race.
Lastly, Anders swam the 100 breaststroke. He looked great and posted a time of 1:12 with a first place finish.
After the meet, we drove home and Jessie invited us to her home for dinner! She served delicious fried vegetables (carrots, celery, potatoes and onions) prepared in olive oil, soy sauce and salt. We also had terrific boiled dumplings and a steamed egg/milk custard. Jessie is such a warm and wonderful host in her most beautiful home--the Kao House in River Falls. She said she really enjoyed her time at the swim meet and wanted to treat our family to a meal she prepared.
We didn't get home until after 10pm, so I think it will be a slow moving day for a little while for the Olson family ;).
