Hey Everyone!
As you know, I am a part of the Children's Lightning Wheels Paralympic Sport Club and I do the sports of track & field, table tennis, and archery. Between May and June, we had three meets (for the Tri-State area), one Invitational meet (my team's meet) and two qualifying meet (Tri-States & Mason's).
I am happy to say that I have qualified in all six of my events that I needed to qualify for (three field events, 100 meter track, table tennis, and archery). This means, I get to compete this summer at the 2014 National Junior Disability Championships (NJDC)! This year's Nationals will be held in Ames, Iowa. Looking forward to it as many of my teammates are as well. We are excited for another week of fun, as well as the bus ride there, as we had an awesome time on the bus last year!
Before we leave, we have about four more practices for all the sports so we can get ourselves ready to take on the rest of the nation. NJDC is during the week of July 5th-12th with a different schedule every day. We also get to meet many other athletes/coaches/volunteers from across the country which is one of the best things about this week. If you want to see what this week is all about, you can check out the website here ---> NJDC 2014.
I may have another post before we leave for Nationals and I am thinking about writing a post, every day as I am there but it would depend on if I have time during the week to do so but I am going to try! :) I hope you all are having a great day and is looking forward towards the official start of summer!
Until Next Time
