Wrapping Up Fall Sports

Oh boy, are we excited for Fall sports to be over.  It's freezing out there on the football bleachers.  It's hot and steamy at the pool.  But I am so proud of my athletes for going after it this fall.  Sarah got enough dives to compete in the JV champs meet.  Unfortunately she learned a hard lesson.  She lined up her harder dives first and when she didn't complete 2 in a row she was disqualified.  Libby qualified for districts, and was not last--until she didn't complete her last dive either (she got spooked after slapping during warmups).  But seriously, diving is hard and scary stuff. Thankful they had a fun coach that guided them through and helped them have the courage to go for it!  Ben had a good last game where he got 10 varsity plays!  He told me that's 3x more than in any other game, plus one!  So yeah, looking forward to wrestling.  


Mom was too cold and retreated to the car as soon as the 5th quarter was over. 

That's Libby, in the ranking before they started.  She was 3rd to last in the beginning and ended up in last after not completing her last dive.  Still super proud of her!
