Our kids were part of the Texas Gold club 3 years ago and we met Micah’s sister who was an assistant coach there at that time. Micah swam for Texas Gold as well, and for coach Aubrey Knapper. Great club and great coach, and great Lawrence family. Very happy for her.
I liked when you guys summarized what’s said in the video! It’s nice to be able to watch, but if I can’t i’d love to get the main talking points anyway.
