Anatomy of a Swim Meet

Krissia participated in her last home meet of the season over the weekend. Now, many of you might attribute her successful season to hard work and determination. However, there are many other subtle strategies Krissia uses to stay on top of her game.

The "downward facing dog" yoga position helps her to relax:


Gathering "good vibes" from the universe enhances concentration:


Splashing as much water as possible so her opponents can't see:



Pausing for a moment of silence:


Putting on her cyborg eye adds intimidation and strength:


Finding a group of friends that have the same fashion sense as she does:


Scaring the other team with garishly painted fingernails (If you zoom in, you'll see the guy who is totally picking his nose in the background):


These strategies must have worked; Desert Hills beat Judge Memorial High School, who are CURRENTLY RANKED FIRST IN 3A SWIMMING! Krissia's relay team also took 5 seconds off their time, posting the second fastest time statewide this season. We are really looking forward to Region this weekend :)
