Jacee volunteered again this year at the USA
Swimming National Open Water Championships. She enjoyed speaking to the all the
great swimmers, officials and organizers. Her favorite job is marking the
numbers on the swimmers. She also enjoys cutting the chips off the swimmers at
the finish line. 
The 10k was swum on Friday and the 5k was swum on
Sunday. There is a Southern California Cup swum on Saturday where everyone in
the National Championship and age group entries are invited. There was a 1-mile
swim and a 2-mile swim. Jacee encouraged
the 1 mile swimmers and made friends with many of them. She then swam the 2
mile swim having a great race. In the last 500 meters Jacee, in the middle of
the pack, Jacee decided to win the race and went for the finish. She and
another female swimmer were working hard to be the first female in the race. In
the last 50 yards Jacee commanded the field with a moved enabled her to take
the lead and hold onto it, as she out touched the second place swimmer by 3
seconds. It was a great finish for all
of the swimmers. Congratulations, to
Jacee and everyone who swam all of the championship races.
