He's in the Junior Olympics!

I just got the news from the national office that Kees was, in fact, the fourth-place thrower and is going to the Junior Olympics! Apparently third and fourth places were both wrong, and several coaches called to complain and support that Kees was the fourth-longest thrower.

Kees knew he threw fourth-longest and is relieved that he can now rightfully compete at the Junior Olympics.

There are only two kids who throw longer than Kees can, but with one week left maybe he can get some more distance and shoot for the gold!


The cool thing: they're both in the Junior Olympics

The not-so-cool-thing: Kees throws on day one... Kiersten on day six!

I guess we'll be doing some sightseeing for that week in between!
