Holiday Card Possibility

Great to have all of us together at SIU in Carbondale Illinois. Dodged a few tornados but had fun watching Sammy throw.

MVC Discus Finals

Sam wasn't pushing discus this year but he was still able to take 7th in the conference championship. He was more focused on hammer where he took 3rd. 1st in both next year.

Grandpa, Rachel and I drove down for Minneapolis for a track meet at Iowa state. Sam had a good day throwing hammer and discus. Taking 3rd in hammer was nice, but he fell a little short of his goal. We will see him reach that goal in Carbondale next week.

Better Discus Days

Sam is working on some discus issues this year. Discus has some real technical requirements and he's more focused on hammer right now.

Chilly Day

Not as much rain as predicted but it was quite brisk. Good seeing the boy play.

Northeast Regional

Spent the weekend in Smithfield RI watching the Black Bears struggle in the regional round of the 7's Rugby championship. They won the national crown last year but came up short to return to Boyds Maryland to defend it.
