Seeing is believing.
On the Saturday in question, neither Sam Moss nor Michal Bower got even the slightest glimpse of what they were doing.
As it turned out, it was better than anybody else in the competition. Come Sunday, it was definitely a sight to behold.
“I actually did watch it,” said Moss of her state-championship swim in the Class 4A 100-yard butterfly. “It made me feel like it was a good thing I did the things I did because I don’t know if I didn’t do them that it would have been me that won. I’d always had trouble with keeping my head down, so it was a good thing I listened to (coach) Kayli (Changstrom).”
Bower, like Moss, went to a dance after their state meets, so taking a peek at what they’d done had to wait until the next morning.
