The women were not too far behind the men. The fi rst day of competition was not only impressive because the MISF was able to rack up one gold, fi ve silver and three bronze medals, but because of the courage and gumption of one of their younger team members. When CC Brady won RMI’s fi rst gold medal in the women’s 200 meter Breaststroke, Palau was embarrassed to realize they did not have the RMI national anthem to play at the medal ceremony. Although shy, Hagar Kabua, with support from Lora Kendrick, stepped up to sing the RMI national anthem a cappella. As put by MISF coach Glenn Hibberts, “There wasn’t a dry eye in the whole venue. It was so touching. It was pretty Angela Kendrick, right, and Annie Hepler, left, compete fiercely magical.” I’m sure that was easily the most memorable in the women’s 50 meter Butterfly race.

So unfortunately, Alves, who had qualifi ed, had to settle for cheering on her team members. Hepler ended up winning the race and teammate Angela Kendrick fi n- ished fourth, barely missing the bronze. The last event held was a 5K open water swim at the Palau Pacifi c Resort. It was a mixed men’s and women’s race and three MISF members participated. Alves claimed the silver medal with a time of one hour, 26 minutes and zero seconds. CC Brady fi nished in 1: 32:10 and Giordan Harris in 1:36:59. Coach Hibberts remembers the Micro Games as very enjoyable, but very challenging because there were MISF swimmers competing in every event and every fi nal. Even though they didn’t medal in every event, they were well represented and he is very proud of them. The team has been practicing three hours a day, fi ve days a week since Spring Break. Hibberts urged his team to give it their all and that there is no sense in saving your energy; “leave it in the pool.” At the Mi- cro Games, the team did just that. “They deserve every single medal they got,” Hibberts beamed. And “leave it in the pool” became their team cheer.
