An early lesson in fierce competition!  44 girls competed in the YMCA New England Championship 25-yard breaststroke event Saturday afternoon at Harvard.  The event was for 8 and under, and any girl who turned 9 before March 1st was also allowed to compete.  Our little Tory is just 7.  She swam off her qualifying time and finished 38th.  We’re very proud of her.  What a great experience. Wait ‘til next year.  The only bad part of the expedition up north is that I will have to look at all the Harvard shirts and hats that now adorn Tory and her three brothers!
