Triple Gold!!!!!

Well Austin is a triple Gold medal winner at the Utah Summer Games. About a month ago my dad suggested that I look into taking Austin to compete. So after a week or two of contemplating I signed him up. It wasn't until after the payment was made that I realized that it was going to be a tough week for him. First he was at BYU Football camp from Monday until Thursday afternoon. What a great experience. He loved IT!!!!

Austin got great one on one coaching from his coach this week. Great pep talks from Bronco. He had a great time. His coach this week was Curtis Brown. And Austin loved every minute of it. There was a ton of past players that helped coach. It was a great week.

Here Austin is with Curtis Brown. Curtis told us he is a great player and looks forward to Austin coming in a few years and breaking all of his records. OH YEAH!!! Future Cougar here!!

Next on the list was on the last afternoon of the football camp after he checked out- we came home, did laundry and packed up the car. First we headed to Provo High school where he competed in the District Hershey track meet. He placed first in the 100 and 200 meter and second in the long jump (not his favorite event). So he has now qualified for the state meet which is on Saturday. We left that meet and headed to Cedar City. He ran first on Friday in the prelims and qualified for the finals on Saturday. On Saturday he ran first in the 100 meter and won his first gold medal.

While we were waiting for the 200 meter, a mother of an older runner found us in the stands and asked if Austin wanted to run on a relay team. 4 boys and one race later and he had his second gold medal. I call them the "stranger team". They had to come up with a name ten minutes before that race- they saw a Dasini water bottle and hence the name "Team Dasini". Whatever- boys.

All of the boys are older than Austin. After this race he only had time to get his number and wait for the 200. He won the 200 hundred, but you could tell he had just ran a race. His time was 25.33 and second place 25.44. PHEW!!!! That was a close one.

But it was a great week and we look forward to seeing Austin this week at the State meet. Wish him luck!!!!!
