KLAC Championships

Blake had a fantastic day at the Athletics track yesterday. He competed in 4 events...400 Metre run, Long Jump, Triple Jump and 70 Metre run. We arrived bright and EARLY to the track. Weather was VERY cold and rain was upon us but we hoped it would hold off for the day. We do need rain but hard to compete on a wet track. Blake placed 1st place in all his events and walked away with a whopping 4 GOLD Medals. We are so proud of him. It did end up raining, however not hard enough for them to call the track meet. It was Freezing though!! Blake also ran Personal Bests in two events ..the long jump and triple jump ...so a job well done. We have a Knox Presentation Day today and Blake will receive his Gold medal. He holds 37 personal bests. The Club President approached me to confirm that he will be running with the club next year and praised his athletic abilities which I thought was very nice.

He will start Cross Country next month so that is exciting. They run in all different park locations around the Knox area. Nick is a very proud Dad. He specialised in athletics when he was young too. He still holds a Doncaster High School Club Record in the long jump after 28 years or so. Nick's friend.. Ashley...his son Justen who goes to that high school... told us not to long ago that he still held it lol. Nick was very proud indeed . Now Blake needs to break that long jump record. Anyway, Enough of my boasting..I will get off my soap box and head off to the presentation day. Will let ya know how he did. Chat soon
