This past Saturday was the Big Bad Blue swim meet held at our school. This is an annual event that takes place to help our SAISA team prepare for the meet in Mumbai. Unfortunately, Carissa is not old enough to make the travel team, but as a 5th grader was allowed to compete in this meet. When school started Coach Elizabeth handed out the schedules with morning and afternoon practice times, each swimmer had to attend four practices a week. Easy enough, but Carissa the competitive little person she is decided she was going to attend both morning and afternoon sessions. I really didn't think she was going to last getting up at 5:30 am every morning, but once again she proved me wrong.
Carissa's hard work, motivation and determination paid off. She swam in 6 events and earned a medal in each one. We are very PROUD of her!
