JR. Olympics Update--dateline Baltimore, MD

Trevor Struggles in USATF Nationals, Junior Olympics. Coming in 5th in his heat was not enough on Thursday to qualify for the finals in the 200 Hurdles. Trevor’s report was that it just didn’t happen for him. The rest of the trip seems to be going well, however.

Nathan and Trevor toured DC today taking in many monuments, the Holocaust Museum and random sites in our nation’s Capitol.

Who needs Extreme Home Makeover, anyway? We did it ourselves. Connor's new room is transformed into a really sweet place!

We are so sad to report that our dear friend Josef Gapko passed away last night due to complications from Muscular dystrophy. He remained so busy and so active up until the very end, serving as an admissions counselor just last week at UW Eau Claire. His angelic voice will echo through our hearts.

Connor has a breakthrough

Connor learned how to ride his bike this summer! He did it! 

Trevor Smells the Flowers..NEWSFLASH

Trevor Takes Third Place OVERALL in Midwest Regionals Pentathalon

Trevor competed 7-6-07 in
Indianola, IA at the midwest regionals Junior Olympics in the Pentathalon. Events included 100m Hurdles, Shot Put, High Jump, Long Jump and the 1500m. Here you see his "rabbit action" which ended up as an expensive lesson in pacing.
