Weight Lifting
325 squatting, 165 "hang clean" and 185 bench pressing. James won a 2nd place trophy in his 1st wrestling competition today. Mary Margaret will decide next week between track and tennis. Today, she is participating in a NYSSMA flute trio. We'll let you know how it goes. Tonight, James and Tommy have hockey playoffs. Mary Margaret's, next week and the boys depending how well they do tonight.
I hear Jason has a La Crosse game today and something with David, too. Please let us know how they did and future events.
Congratulations, Tommy, James and Mary Margaret!
How did the flute trio turn out yesterday???
The Kids
Mary Margaret's trio received the highest score of "outstanding" at level 3! Her group was the last of the day and was told by the judge they were the highlight of her day. She and Tommy will perform a level 4 solo in May. James and Mary Margaret's hockey teams will play consolation games. James' is Sat., Mar 25, at 5:45. Mary Margaret's is Sat. Mar. 18, at 9:30 pm. Tommy's team goes into the championship final, if a tie, championship will be decided by sudden death, on Sun., Mar. 19, at 2:30. All are at the Weibel rink in Saratoga.
Great job to all!!
Great job MM!! Glad to hear you are doing NYSSMA in May also. Jason did have a lacrosse game yesterday at RPI---they won 12-6, and he DID play. He was very happy. What a gorgeous day it was to be outside. He is currently in Orlando, Florida(they got there around 2 this afternoon) with the team until Friday. They have three games, Mon, Wed and Friday, and practices on the other days. The coach told them that this is NOT a vacation, but a BUSINESS trip. So, basically no fun is to be had. And if they don;t do well down there, they will have practice both days next weekend. Sat will be a day off if they do good in florida. Heard the fields they are playing on are gorgeous. Tomorrow they are at the Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World--game time 12:30. David was Latin dancing yesterday on stage at the high school for the Celebrating Cultural Diversity Day. He will perform again this Wednesday eve at the school. The swim team(both boys and girls) will be honored at the City Council meeting on Tuesday eve. David received one of three awards given at the largest jazz festival in New York State on Friday for his trumpet playing. Karen continues to do well in school. She will be attending the Horizons camp at Clarkson (that both Melissa and Emily attended) this summer in July. She has decided to play lacrosse this spring---Jason gave her the high five yesterday at his game!!
That's 325 pounds squatting, his best event.
What a nice surprise it was when you came! Thanks so much for coming Patty and Tom. Tommy always loves it when family can come. I'll get from him his other stats tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for your nice comments. Weight lifting came as a "heavy" recommendation from the football coach. Tommy loves it because he's getting to be one of the strongest and is self motivated (6 am 3 days/week). He is also throwing in track now. After school now, you can see all the kids running around town in groups. Tommy's doing great. Mary Margaret is deciding between modified track or tennis. James wrestles and had a scrimmage last night. He did so well in his weight class (100lbs.), they bumped him up to the 115 class. It was more of a challenge, but he did great.
Wow!!!
How did you get started weight lifting Tommy?
Congratulations Tommy
Great Job Lifting 222 Lbs.
Impressive!
Great job Tommy!!! Congratulations!!!
