Angel qualified 1st 16 & U 50 fly (5th overall),Lilman 5th 200 free - 22nd overall.
To bad lilman didn't choose 50fly..he would have been in medals for sure, but I think he don't like racing his brother, not a big deal for us, but for him...hmmm
https://swimming.ca/liveresults/2014speedoeastern/ Thursday Final: Angel 1st 50 fly 24.95 (pb). Lilman 6 th 200 free 1.54.34
Friday prelims: Angel 2nd 100 free 52.35(pb). Lilman 3rd 100 free 52.37(pb) - head to head for 2nd & 3rd in final tonight, hope they can bring it this evening cause 4 th place qualifier 52.81, less than 1/2 second behind. Don't think they beating #1, he going in with a pb 50.51.
Friday Finals: Mammy textin like mad.. Lilman comeback and place 2nd 51.60 (pb), a 4 best allltime 13-14 performance.. However, but still super, Angel placed 4th with 52.20 another (pb), unfortunately another boy pull it out and beat him to the bronze. But finally he getting competitive in the 100s, it about time he start chasing ppl in something other than 50...besides it will only make his 50s stronger/faster. Mammy say lilman was 4 or 5th on the first 50(official times say 4th)..Angel was 3rd. The winner and still number #1, 16 & U in Canada also did a pb of 50.41. But now the boys are seeing him. Angel had met him before at a tri-provincial meet, and they got to know each other, nice kid..but the #1 14 yr old go be watching him slight (i don't allow no more cuteye).
Saturday prelim : lilman in 3 rd in 100 fly, 56.70, .09 secs off the Canadian 13-14 record. Angel had a so-so swim, 59.58,(added .76), but at least making it to b final, though he wasn't happy.
Another TT hopeful Tariq Lashley, also in B final, he did a pb of 59.53. So I getting to cheer twice for 3 ah dem. if ah was dey, me an Tariq dad woulda raise a flag for sure,- besides firing ah couple
Saturday final: Folks , lilman broke the 21 year old 13-14 Canadian record, doing 55.84 placing 3 rd in the 100 fly. Angel also had a commendable performance doing a pb 57.16 placing 2nd in the B final.
Tariq also had a pb of 59.03. A real good evening all around..
Tomorrow, Angel is going 50 free ranked 2nd. Lilman doing 200 fly & I'm back to back, ranked 7 th & 21 st respectively
Sunday prelim: lilman qualify 3 rd for final , 2,3,4,5, almost have same time..race for 3 rd. Angel qualiy 2 nd in 50 free, close to best time. Lilman then came 25 th in 200 IM.. Added 3 secs from best time...Mammy say he look real bun..so maybe it's a good he couldn't make. Besides he has to swim it at provincials next week, within his age group..so only fly today. His coach trying to switch him to do 100 free instead of 100 back next weekend at provincials,, think he want him try for Ntl rec. again. Not sure is a good thing, when we talk about record and he is close, he loses sight of performance, and is disappointed when he don't make it. I thinking after the stress of this weekend, maybe he should go for wins next wknd, not times.
Sunday Final : Lilman placed 6th, didn't beat best time, 2:07.59..at least still close to pb..Mammy say he bun at end, his 1st 100 split was 59.77, 2nd 100 split was 1:07.82, it's usually slower, but not 8 secs slower..4 to 5 secs in order, not 8...he have 2 years to figure it out at this level.so he done ahead of the game, already told him that...but never a moment without excitement. Angel do 50 free in a pb, 23.28, placing 2nd. Winning boy did a pb, 22.96. just out touching him. ..reaching home bout 1 am, school in morning for them both, no practice tomorrow ...school(2 exams) & practice Tuesday..AllHigh school meet Wednesday for him an Angel, followed by practice...travel Thursday after school to Gatineau, for Provincials starting Friday..8 events at Provincials..(last day there , 400 IM,50 fly, 800 free, relay). I think he should chill for a week from swimming after that, and just catch up with school..
