On the 7,8, and 9th of February 2020, I swam at the SI Short Course Junior Olympics. I qualified for 8 events, but was only allowed to swim 6 events, including the 200 freestyle, 50 breaststroke, 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, and the 200 IM. Overall, it was a great swim meet. I dropped time in almost every single event, and our team, Renegade Aquatics, placed 7th overall. I made it to the finals in two events, the 200 freestyle where I placed 5th, and the 100 breaststroke where I placed 7th. I made it to the consolation finals in the 50 breaststroke, 100 butterfly, and the 200 IM. I also swam in the 200 freestyle relay, and the 200 IM relay. No one really had the chance to take videos of my races because my swim team was running the snack bar, and my parents and sisters were busy helping out.
That was my consolation finals of the 50 yard breaststroke.
