Check out other photos from the meet HERE. I been photographing for the meet, along with a few other volunteers. They are posting slowly, but be sure to check back on these.

ALso, if you'd like to see my favorites from the meet, of all swimmers, I've posted a gallery in the FEATURED section of MY WEBSITE.

beach time

The swimming is done and the kids hit the beach at last yesterday afternoon, just as the snow hit Canandaigua.

More photos to follow to fill in Wednesday and other gaps. We have tons of photos but a very slow connection, so posting has been a challenge.

wednesday finals

Heather places 5th in the 100 Free!!!

Flying

Michael and Heather competed in the 100 Fly on Tuesday. Heather went on to the consolation heat at finals and placed 9th overall with a gutsy swim at finals.

A lovely stomach bug forced Brittney and the 400 free relay to scratch. Hopefully it's been contained to the three kids who had the misfortune of getting it.

PJ

The CAQY team has been joined by PJ from Corning for the meet. Here he is in prelims on Tuesday.

Tuesday time trials

I had access to the deck and press room on Tuesday afternoon, which made for some fun photographing.

Monday finals: Heather and Brittney are All Americans!

Heather placed 6th in the 50 free and Brittney placed 7th in the 200IM. It was a beautiful evening. And the kids looked great in their Fiesta costumes for the opening ceremony.

Monday prelims

a few from Sunday

Here are a few at the condo on Sunday evening. Sorry for the delay in posting - we spent all of yesterday at the pool or running around. I'm also having technical difficulty at the hotel and have to go elsewhere to post.

More photos to come soon.
