Can I brag???

Well I have to say we had a GREAT weekend. Both kids did well. It was nice to see Jaimee taking part rather than just be a spectator. Since she just joined she hadn't practiced many events so she only felt comfortable competing in 2 of the events. She did awesome. She got a 3rd in the 800m and the discus throw (never even practiced it!). We were proud of her for going out and trying. She can't wait now to try some other events! Way to go Jaimee!

Danica did very well again too. She got a first in the 800m, breaking her old time and reaching her goal of breaking 3minutes. She did it in 2:59! Then, another great accomplishment when she did high jump. Last year she did not really grasp what to do and could never get over 0.85m, this meet she jumped 1.05m to get a 2nd! We are so proud. The second day was a Pentathlon, it is a a 5 event run, jump and throw. Now Danica has always excelled at the long distance run and did ok in the other events but not well. She has really come into her own this year. After a second long, tiring day of events, Danica came in third for total points in the Pentathlon! We are so proud of her. In fact, our Alberni Valley girls placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 9th out of all the girls competing. Jason (my hubby who was the only coach there this weekend) says it was because of the coaching!
