It matters not how high you jump, throw, walk or run.  Just do it and as an individual accomplishment or as a team you have won. Step up to the line, move forward and finish.

After a long and wonderful, successful, exciting, joyful and meaningful week the Team Ohio Champions come home.  Winners one and all!  Here is a bit of information regarding the swim Team Ohio via an email from Rebecca Hartong one of the proud parents that attended the games.  Will let her word sum this up.

Oh, and . . .
Our 4-athlete Swim Team Ohio came away with 12 medals in 13 events, including 5 Golds and 3 Silvers!!   We were a small team, competing with 50 states, and we rocked it!!
Henry swam above and beyond our expectations and his previous performances, winning 3 Individual Gold Medals (50 Free, 100 Free, 50 Backstroke), and a Team Silver Medal in the 4X25 medley relay, in which he swam a powerful butterfly.  Even Henry is a bit dazed by what he pulled off, considering the strength and speed of the competition.  It was unbelievable!   Our team of dedicated athletes brought down the house, and set a good example wherever they went, making friends and congratulating their peers.  We should all celebrate them and be proud.

Pep talks and the joy of being a champion

Watching everyone participate this week is such a reminder that we live such a blessed life.

Wednesday was a great day for swim Team Ohio.  Medals again for everyone.

But when you look a little deeper it’s about their accomplishments. About how far they have come. About how they are seen in the world. Walking taller for what they have done. And a lifetime of memories from a wonderful event that will live with them forever.

Swim Team Ohio had a great first day.  All prelims but they did Ohio and parents proud!  And watching other Olympians make think about how little the rest of the world’s problems are.  One lady took over 7 minutes to complete the 200 meter swim. I wonder if I could finish and then walk afterwards. They all, the participants, give their best and walk away winners.

The losers out of all of this is the media. Where are they?  The story isn’t the last five minutes of the last day of the best times.  It’s the journey that everyone is taking.

The words to express last nights events are too few and too many.  Not use over use the word, but, a very special event!  Looking forward to a great week of competition and all the winners.  Which is everyone that is here for this.  Ah, and it is interesting to note that some of the biggest cheers came every time WWE people spoke.

So on with the games.  Images from last night HERE
