I was roommates with Kaitlyn and Therese. It was awesome. Every day between sessions Kaitlyn and I had naptime together and sent each other "sleepy vibes." We talked about swimming a lot and it was fun! On Sunday night Andrew and Lee visited us and we took many funny group pictures. =D
Some notes about the meet in general:
- WPI came in 8th place, our best placing ever.
- I got to wear a cool lzr legskin which was pretty intense and awesome!!
- Our team was so supportive, guys and girls. A bunch of the guys turned out to cheer and time for us, they painted their chests (best thing ever - I looked up at the stands before my 100 fly and saw "KICK ASS" on the boys' backs :)
Everyone had great swims and best times:

Toni made consolation finals in both of her backstrokes. She finally went 1:04 in the 100 and 2:20 in the 200, and beat her best 2 IM by 5 seconds.
