Jeneva qualified to participate in the Top 8 Gala at her school yesterday, and in spite of being a bit out-of-sorts she went like a bomb.
My great regret was that due to my health problems I was unable to watch. The trek to the pool is a fairly long one, and over uneven terrain.
She took part in every race for which she was eligible in her under-9 age group and achieved no lower than fourth in any of them out of eight swimmers; cheered on by a supportive sister.
Detailed results:
INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY – SECOND;
5o METRE FREESTYLE – THIRD;
25 METRE BUTTERFLY – FOURTH;
25 METRE BACKSTROKE – THIRD;
25 METRE BREASTSTROKE – FIRST;
100 METRES FREESTYLE – FOURTH.
These results gave her a medal for JOINT SECOND in the Gala. I am one proud grandpoppy!

I certainly hope you’ll be fit and ready for her next big event! She’s quite a star performer, and I’m sure she misses you being there to cheer her on. I’ve been remembering you in my prayers, Leslie.
