When Krissia swam for Carbon High last year, some of the other swimmers on the team gave her the nickname "Lightning". She is truly living up to that name this year, striking so hard and suddenly in her races that the other competitors hardly know what's happened.
Krissia competed in a 2 day invitational last weekend in Cedar City with over 450 other swimmers. 14 schools were in attendance, with both 3A and 4A atheletes competing. Krissia was incredible, getting 2 individual golds in her events. In fact, in her premier event, the 100 backstroke, she touched the wall 5 seconds before the 2nd place swimmer! The local newspaper featured an article about the swim meet today, and it predicted that Krissia could end up taking state in this event.
I guess that getting Krissia to those 5 a.m. practices are really paying off :)
(Let me add that we all take turns driving her in the mornings)
