However, the excitement turned into shock as they walked off the bus and stared(盯著 )in disbelief at their strong Greekgodlike opponents(對手 ).Halfway through the meet, Coach Huey realized that be had no swimmers for one of the events. “Okay team, who wants to swim the five hundredyard freestyle?” the coach asked. Several hands went up, including Justin Rigsbee’s. “I’ll race, Coach!” The coach looked down at the young boy and said, “Justin, thi s race is twenty lengths of the pool. I’ve on ly seen you swim eight.” “Oh, I can do it, Coach. Let me try.” Coach Huey finally agreed, not 32 though. After all, he thought, it’s not the winning but the trying that builds 33 . The whistle(哨子 )blew and the opponents flew through the water and finished the race in just four minutes and fifty seconds. The winners got together to socialize while our group 34 to finish. After four more long minutes, the last tired members of our team got out of the water. The last except for Justin. Justin was 35 breaths as his hands hit the water and pushed it aside to move his thin body forward. It appeared that he would go under at any minute.

The coach walked over to the young swimmer and quietly spoke. The parents thought, “Oh, he’s finally going to pull that boy out before he kills himself.” But to their 37 . the coach stepped back from the pool’s edge, and the young man continued to swim. One teammate, inspired by his brave friend, went to the side of the pool and walked the lane as Justin continued. “Come on, Justin, you can do it! Keep going! Don’t give up!” He was joined by another, then another, until the whole team was walking the length of the pool cheering for and 38 their teammate to finish the race set before him. Their opponents saw what was happening and 39 them. Soon the room was full of energy and excitement as teammates and opponents alike gave courage to one small swimmer. Twelve long minutes after the starting whistle had blown, a tired but 40 Justin Rigsbee swam his final lap and pulled himself out of the pool, The standing ovation (起立鼓掌 )they gave Justin that day proved that the greater victory was his, just for finishing the race. 31.
