Good Times On Wednesday

So Wednesday was another exciting day for Kevin and Julia. We'll start with Kevin. Last week, Kevin finished second in his team, and while he didn't have a great time, he was able to finish second for the team.

This Wednesday had most of the team running at Belmont Plateau, and Kevin really wanted to knock down that 24 minute race. Kevin didn't disappoint. He ran very well throughout the race, and while he finished fourth for the team, he knocked down two minutes of his time, and finished with a 22 minutes and 53 seconds.

Yep, another personal record! The captain, Bishop, wants to see Kevin in the finals, and Kevin is doing his best to knock down more times. Bishop's mother really wants to see him in the finals, too. Here's hoping. ...

Oh, did I mention Princess P? On Monday Jules had to plau Prendergrast, which is a very good team. With the exception of a five minute sit - in-between JV and Varsity - Jules played all of the junior varsity game, and played the entire varsity game. The JV game was 8-0, and the Varsity game was 12-0.

Julia played out of her mind. One of the Prendie girls slashed her toward the end of the game, and she pulled in all her aggression. She went after every player who came near her. She swept al the balls coming her way. She was a Tazmanian Devil, and it was a beauty to see.

When she got back to school, Kyleigh, the goalie and Jules' bestie said, "I've never seen her so angry in my life!"

On Wednesday, Julia played Varsity and JV, as usual. The varsity lost by 4-1, which wasn't that bad. The best part? Julia stopped every single ball that came toward the goalie. The Mrs. said she was really good at the first half, and was much more aggressive in the second half.

The girl is amazing, and she continues to reach for an All-Catholic Award. I'm so proud of the both of them.
