Val smiled back. She had the same look on her face.
I waited.
At last Kim spoke. “It’s hard to say who is faster in
the 200 Free. Sometimes Val wins and sometimes I
win .”
“I see,” I said. “It sounds like the 200 Free is the
race to see. When will that race take place?”
“It will be on Sunday,” said Val, “the last day of the
state meet .”
I got out my pen and wrote: “Sunday the 25th. 200
Free. Castro versus Castro!”
