They Were All Confused
Willis’s coach Lauren Langly headed over to the official to clarify what was going on. Willis watched from the side, along with her teammates, as Langly argued furiously with the judges, one of which pointed over at Breckynn. Whatever the judge said made Langly step back in compete shock, as if the official had just hit her in the face.
Totally Unexpected
All Willis could hear Langley say was: “you can’t be serious.” Breckynn felt an overwhelming wave of emotions: confusion, hurt, anger, and frustration were just a few. She knew that she did not have any penalties during her swim, and she couldn’t possibly imagine what the issue was.
