Success!

Stockton had to be at the pool early in the morning.  They were able to warm up for a long time.  We had to wait until around lunch time of his event.  His best dive was his 2 1/2, mostly 7s on that one!
Stockton landed his front 1 1/2 full twist, or as Stockton calls it: 5132D. He didn't get high marks, but he didn't fail this dive.  Considering he hadn't ever successfully finished this dive before we came to Colorado, I think that's amazing.  What guts he has!
Stockton finished in 6th place.  The top 6 qualify for nationals. Nationals are held in California around the end of May.  He won't qualify for nationals in the 1 meter since he isn't competing tomorrow. He could do 3 meter and platform.  I'm not sure what we are going to do.  I guess we'll wait for more information before we decide anything.

Maysen spent the day volunteering at a pet place.  She seemed to enjoy it and sent me pictures of her with dogs.

Mike, Stockton and I took off shortly after Stockton finished.  Mike drove the entire way and I was able to read in the back for awhile.  That was nice!  We got home around 6:00.  The kid did great without us. They are at a really great age.
