Midland vs. DOW Swim Meet
This past week I shot swimming for the first time, truth be told I wasn’t very excited, and I wasn’t expecting to get anything good.
Was I wrong.
Unbeknownst to me or my coworkers at the paper, tonight was DOW’s “senior night”, the last time the seniors would swim with the rest of the team. It goes without saying, it was a very emotional night for everyone, I even got a little blurry eyed.
In addition to the deep emotion shown by these girls, they managed to break two pool records while at this meet. A little lighter side on this emotional event.
What I expected to be a boring, daily sports assignment turned into a possibly portfolio worthy set of images. Lesson learned, dude.
