The track team held a recognition dinner for the 8th grade runners. The coach took the time to talk about and honor each athlete. It was so nice to hear another adult’s opinion of my child. He had very nice things to say, but what he said that stood out and made me the most proud was that Patrick always gives his all. He is always willing to try and do anything that is asked of him. ❤️
He found out the week before track started that he has a slipped disc in his back which makes for almost constant back pain. The doctor told him that exercise would help so he decided to go ahead with the season. I am so very proud of him. Not only did he try a new sport his 8th grade year, but he also worked his butt off. These practices were no joke! But he did it. He did 2 hour practices every day for a month. That’s a lot of running. That’s one tough boy. 😀
He got to try the 100, 200, 400, 4×200 and 4×400.
Fighting for first!
