We are back from Long Island. It's been a few years and I can't believe I had to drive 85 on the LIE just to not get passed! Phew! Colin did very well at the state meet. His goal was to beat any other 8th graders who may have been there. (3) and he ended up besting the 9th graders in all the other races as well. He had a few 10th graders in front of him in his race, but most were juniors and seniors. He came in 41st. His 8th grade legs just did not have much more to give at the end. Cardiac Hill (400 meters in length at a 45 degree angle) zaps them! He was a bit disappointed in his placement, but we were thrilled! His teammate, Yanko, also did phenomenally well, placing 48th right behind him! Well worth it!
Connor had his vacation, too. We played on Long Island Beach and had a great time collecting shells and scaring off the seagulls! He loved swimming in the pool there, which I have to say was beautiful and clean! We are so glad we went (All thanks to Mitch and Patty Miles who took care of Milo...and to Lexi who had to endure him)! It was a great experience and we are so grateful to Coach Johnston, his teammates and the other parents and friends on the team who drove down to cheer for Erika, Colin and Yanko!
Next year States are the same weekend, but in Plattsburgh! Here's hoping he has another great year!
