So what did you do this weekend? We spent a whirlwind weekend in Orlando where Kayla competed in the USA Down. Syndrome Swimming/Athletes Without Limits National Championships. She swam 15 individual races and 4 relays in 3 days. In evening finals she swam 7 individual races and 4 relays and came home with a whopping 10 medals, including National Championships in the 50 meter Freestyle and 50 meter Butterfly! Final count: 2 Gold, 5 Sliver and 3 Bronze. I can’t tell you how proud I am of her, gutting it out through fatigue, pain and inadequate sleep. She’s always had the heart and spirit of a champion, now she has the medals to go with it! So many people to thank-Coach Shelby for making the trip and her hard work with Kayla and and for a fantastic event for all these gifted and giving athletes! See you all next time!
