More and more Casie's frustration grew. I was frustrated missing the Junior cuts. So she left the Vacaville team in August of 1997 and joined coach Rick Henderson and the Woodland Swim Club. Barton and Henderson had seen each other at meets and, like Wedaman, Henderson new UCSB swimming coach Greg Wilson. In Woodland, you see, swimmers use the IM as the workout.
Swimmers do freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breast stroke each day.
I was so frustrated. I enjoy it so much more now. It was really hard to leave Vacaville. It wasn't easy. I didn't want to hurt him like that and my teammates.
