Last night Tori had another track meet in Conroe. We barely made it in time to see her throw her last discus. Out of the 5 schools attending - 15 girls, Tori took 4th place in discus.
Her next event was shot put. We were able to watch her practice and then throw her three. I was so excited for her! She threw 26.11 and took FIRST PLACE in the event!!! That was so great seeing that there were so many competitors. Some of these gals were HUGE (and scary) and up walks Tori all dainty like and heaves this huge throw! The other competitors all said,"WOOOW!" I knew it must have been a great throw to get a reaction like that. She was especially excited to beat a gal on her own team who always seems to take first.
When we went back over to the stadium to pick up her things, bunches of friends would ask her,"how did you do?" She proudly told them she took first place. The kids were all patting her on the back and telling her how great that was. Her coach was really excited too! Tori was beaming...and so was I. :O)
She is in the pit, bent over getting ready to throw. (it's hard to see) (click on pic to enlarge)
See that huge girl behind Tori? That is the gal who is on her team and they are always battling it out for first and second place at practices. This gal is sort of what you'd call a bully...and she wasn't too happy that Tori beat her. :)
After the track meet, we raced back down the freeway to the school so Victoria could be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Ron and I sat there beaming again as we watched our sweet daughter make another great accomplishment! What a great day! I will not soon forget it. Way to go Tori! We are so proud of you! :) xoxo

What a gal! I am so proud of her accomplishments this year. So don't you suppose that bouncing in my lap was the onset of her athletic prowess? Made her tough!! And you were so worried. : )
Woohoo! That's so awesome! Congrats!!
