It was great to watch Ariana Vandepool-Wallace destroy her heat on her way of breaking the Bahamas National Record and qualifying for the Semifinal of the 100 Free tonight.  She was a FAST 53.73!!!

I can still remember at the 2008 Beijing Olympic games when I told Ariana before her 100 Free that she had nothing to be nervous that that race was going to be a warm up experience for the 2012 Olympic games when she swam in the Finals and kick some b… 🙂

Let’s make sure that all of us cheer for Ariana tonight.  It would be I believe the first time for a swimmer from the Bahamas to qualify for the finals in swimming.  Once in the Finals the SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!

Proud of you Ariana and CONGRATS to you, your family and your coach Brett Hawke.

GO BOLLES – WAR EAGLE!!!
