This was our first year of Little Athletics. Both boys really enjoyed the weekly competition. Although it was a Friday night the boys were always eager to go. Both boys went to state twice within the season. We were really proud of Ben as he partipated in the Zone Multi Event and placed 2nd with a Silver medal. We then went off to Wagga for the weekend to participate against 36 other boys. Ben placed 12th overall. We were so proud of him and the way that he competed. He has grown up so much in the last year. I think that he will do even better next year as he has a little more experience behind him. He broke the ground record several times for discus. Within the season he came very close to breaking ground records for 100m, 400m, 800, 1500m and longjump. He also broke the ground record for shot put. One of the memories that sticks in my mind is of the night he tried to break the 1500m record. He went out hard and started to stitch on the first lap, by the second lap he was crying and by the third and final lap you could hear him coming down the straight crying very loudly. He was so determined BUT he missed the reourd by a few seconds. He ran through the pain under his own will to do his best. I was embarrassed and proud all at the same time. He is already looking foward to the next season of Little Athletics.
Love to all of the mums out there doing the sporting circuit.
