Medals all around!

What a week for the Jones Kids....This week was our schools special Olympics in which Austin and Quade participated as they have every year for many years now. They both did very very well. And the crowd of spectators was remarkable!! Austin Received a gold medal in the standing long jump and a gold in the 100m dash. He also received a ribbon for participation in the 4x100m relay. Quade recieved a gold medal in the softball throw and after getting a late start (as he was in awe with the cheering crowd) he received a silver in the 100m dash. He also received a ribbon for participation in the 4x100m relay.
Hayden is on the high school track team and participates in the shot put and discus. (his football coach is also the track coach and will not let him run because he can not afford for his already too small lineman to loose any weight LOL) He did well and received a silver in the shot put and he was in the running in the discus too but his last throw (which was the longest of the day) went out of bounds.
Taylor is trying her hand at throwing as well, as she is on the junior high track team and she got a 4th place in the shot put at the Winslow meet. Not to shabby for her first meet!
WAY TO GO!
