The video of that girl helping the other runner made national news. She got a lot of positive recognition for her efforts.
Our pole vaulter who placed at the state continued to train and entered the regional Junior Olympics in the decathlon. It was an exciting two day event and he held on for second which means he qualified for the nationals in Baltimore at the end of July. I am proud of his efforts, especially since it was during the big 100 degree heat wave here in Ohio. Jim in Paris, you would have liked his high hurdles. You would not have thought so highly of his javelin, but that is a new event for him!
Sadly, I will not be able to attend his national meet in Baltimore. I will be returning from the national Lutheran Youth Gathering in New Orleans. I have asked this before but I will say it again......do we have any top spinners in New Orleans? I will be there from July 18-22.
