If you are London’s mom —- that is one impressive 10 year old!! We enjoyed watching him too (& LOVE his name!)
I agree. London is fantastic. I was officiating and commented on how great his mechanics were. He had the best stroke, starts and turns. Congrats.
WOW! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much!!! These kids are just so fun to watch! There are so many talented kids out there.
Elizabeth Rising London is pretty amazing as well. I was officiating and commented on how great his starts, strokes and turns were. I too was a smaller swimmer so the mechanics were everything.
Barron Matern Thank you so much! It was a fantastic weekend of swimming.
Amy ?

Congratulations
Wow! Way to go Jared!!
I was a very exciting meet! London had a great time. It’s an honor to watch such talented athletes. Jarrett did great!
Thank you! He was excited to be back at OSU for Zones. His first Zone Meet was at OSU at age 7 in 1 relay, so it was extra special to get his first NAG record at Zones in that pool!
