State Qualified - Already!

Jay had his first dive meet of the season today. Hard to believe that his last season of diving has started. The team started the season with an 11 dive meet in Wenatchee. A typical dive meet has 6 dives, is part of a swim meet, and is against one other school. Three times during the season, they have an 11 dive meet where they have to perform 11 different dives. The 11 dive meet doesn't include a swim meet and many schools participate.

Jody, Jamae and I were able to travel today to Wenatchee to watch Jay dive. We are so thankful that we did. He had such a great meet and came in 2nd place.

The most exciting news? Jay qualified for state today! To qualify, you must score over 300 and Jay received a score of 321! How fun to reach his goal to qualify for state at the first meet of the year (and it sure takes the pressure off). Now we need to start planning our trip to Federal Way in February.

If we're in Federal Way for the state wrestling tournament again this February, we will have to get our families together! Let's make sure we get in touch then.

Thanks for stopping by...I lost all my links in a violent crash, and am slowly discovering them again. It was so good to catch up with your beautiful family again. Cannot believe how the kids have grown. It can't be four years ago already!
