On Friday morning, July 14, a rather intense competition will take place in Clearwater, Kansas...the final swim meet of the Ark Valley Swim League. Argonia's team will be there along with four other teams - Clearwater (Argonia's chief rival due to sheer numbers), Conway Springs, Belle Plaine and Mulvane. Fifty or so kids from 67004-land will swim their hearts out for individual glory and for team pride. Will they pull off the upset and finally beat Clearwater in home water? Only time will tell. At the Mulvane meet on June 30 they pulled off a 55-point victory, 391 to 346, against Clearwater with far fewer swimmers in the pool. A few years ago that was the stuff of dreams.
I watched the Argonia kids in the pool today. Practice was hard. They worked! Yesterday's times were the best of the year. They're peaking at the right time.
Can't wait to see what Saturday brings.
