The Amish One

We tell Trevor that newly married Amish men are allowed to quit shaving to indicate their marital status. He looks like a newlywed...of about three months. I'm trying to look at the bright side...he's not going to attract many girls this way

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.

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.

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.
