“In lane 4, Nicole Farina from Ursuline Academy.†Cheers erupted, louder than for any of the other swimmers announced. I adjusted my signature pink goggles, pulled down my black UA cap, and glanced at the seven other girls in my heat. I smiled to myself. “I’ve so got this,†I thought.
The day was March 1, 2014: my fourth and final Delaware High School Swimming State Championships. Since freshman year, I dreamed of making it to the podium in the 100 butterfly at this meet. It was my sole mission to become one of the top three butterfliers this state had to offer. Saying you’re one of the best in a place named “dullest state†in the Guinness Book of World Records might not sound like much. But to me, it was everything.
High school season in Delaware is short and low-pressure. The real magic happens on our club teams. But every club swimmer will agree that there’s just something about the state championship meet that’s different. How you do at this meet isn’t for your swimming future. This is for status in a small state. This is for you.
