Silver Medalist

The second to the last day of school there was an awards ceremony at Preston's school. He forgot to tell me about it until I picked him up from school and he showed me a medal. He was very excited to tell me that at the Hershey track meet he had a couple of weeks ago, at which all Nebo school district fifth graders participated, he placed SECOND OVERALL in the long jump. Such an accomplishment for someone who didn't really want to participate in the first place! I knew he placed third in the 100 meter and in the second heat took fifth place but did not go on to the finals. Preston, way to go!!!!

Way to go Preston! At least he tried his best, even though he didn't want to do it in the 1st place. My daughter just gives up the last 20 yrds so she can go home and not have to go to the finals!

Preston! Never keep those things a secret.... they are brownies points with parents that you may need in the future! Congrats for the 100% effort it paid off!
