uncle aaron wins men's discus at capital city relay tournament


yesterday was a day of rain, snow, and cold..... very cold. grace, raegan, nana, papa, and i went to aaron's tournament. he threw shot put first and came in second with a pr of 49' 11". for discus, he took first throwing 156' 8". his pr for discus is 161'. jefferson city high school took first at the tournament. as seen in the picture above, aaron is the small figure inside the discus cage getting ready for his first throw (click to enlarge). aaron is finishing his senior year and will soon be headed off to my alma mater, brigham young university. yippee! aaron will be a thrower for the byu track and field team. he is very excited, and so are we! despite the rain and cold, grace and raegan behaved very well. up until the end and grace said, 'i want to go home.... keep my hands warm.' we were freezing. good job, aaron!
