Timing at NC Long Course 14&U Champs

The Senior and National teams of my swim club volunteered to act as timers at the 14&U Long Course State Championships this weekend.We timed the swimmer's races and recorded them for the scoring.

Being a competitive swimmer, it's actually sort of weird to be timing other swimmer rather than be in the water racing. Timing at the 14&U championships also brought back memories of when I was young enough to swim at that meet.

It turned out to be a pretty exciting night; we watched a lot of fast swims and helped the meet run smoothly. Many kids got personal bests in their events and several records were broken.
