Michael finished 2nd in the 2 mix relay.

Sydney finished 3rd overall and 2nd in the 2 mix relay.

Her best time of the day was a 12.31.

Jacob finished 4th in his long and 2nd in his short to give him a 3rd place finish overall.

He didn’t get in the 2 mix relay…not enough girls…

Jake’s also got a new personal best of 10.29!!!

He got 1st his 2 man relay.  I don’t think they had any other master relays.

Syd got 2nd in both races… just her and Tabby.

Her four mix was the only team, they got DQ’d but still were given the 1st place ribbon.

She got second in her 2 girl relay.

Her times in the 300m: 12.71, 12.54, & 12.54 for a 37.79…  I think that’s a personal best isn’t it?

Jacob got 4th in his long and 5th in his short.  The exciting thing is that the short was a fast race…  Every lap was a sub-11… his fastest lap 10.54 (personal best).

He got 3rd in his four mix.  He got 2nd in his 2 man.  It was a very tight race that they actually had to re-run because of a major fall.  The kid went to the ER with a probable concussion.  At that point Jacob’s team was in 2nd so the results were the same after the re-run.  However, the re-run was an exciting close race too!

I think that’s it!  Syd and Jake are skating the best that we have ever seen.  Tabby was less than a ¼ lap ahead; Syd almost beat her to the first pylon on the short.  She made Tabby work for it!  Syd is also breathing better and Jake’s hands aren’t getting anywhere near his knees!!!
