90 degrees.
No wind.
Yet, still a great time!
Aside from almost passing out between races, Jake did great. He ran the 400 meter relay, the 800 meter run, and the 1600 meter run (which he didn't know was a mile until he'd already signed up!)
But his favorite was the discus.
He threw 56 feet and some odd inches, which is pretty impressive for an 11 year old. And it was good enough for 10th place.
But if you ask him, he will tell you he was first in discus.... meaning he was the first to throw! Sounds more impressive when you leave out "to throw"!
Anyway, I'm proud of him.
His goal was to finish his races strong, and not to walk. He did that.. the ribbon for discus is just icing on the cake!
