Knoxville Meet

Last weekend Aj had a competition in Knoxville Tennesee. Its a pretty big meet and there are kids competing from all over the country, which means really tough to earn anything.  Anyway, Aj did very well, he posted his usual type of scores for this season which is good. It got him a 7th place over all and a few 4th and 5th places. Unfortunately they only gave out medals to the 3rd place which is strange and unfortunate. ANyway once they were giving out the medals a boy on AJ's team who is in a different age group was accidentally put in his group and then won a medal AJ would have gotten if the boy wasn't there. It was I think the first time we left a meet with no medals and Aj who is always a good sport was pretty bummed. And bummed to know he should have gotten at least one. Well last night at practice the boy gave AJ the medal he should have earned, Aj tried really hard to not take it, saying of course it's ok and not to worry about it. But what a nice gesture by this little 9 year old boy!
