Jake left on Thursday at 8 30 am, Flew to Denver and then to Omaha. Then they drove to Vermillion. He competed on Friday and Saturday with very full days and a team dinner each night. When it was over on Saturday they drove to Omaha, spent the night and got up at 5 00 to fly home to Las Vegas and then to Salt Lake City. Jake said there was terrible turbulence on the way into Vegas and wants to stay home awhile after that experience.We had a nice steak dinner waiting for him to celebrate his good doings. He ate alot and then had to do homework!
You can see his pile of clothes he brought home dirty and the sweat circles on his tank. He was nervous and worked hard!
Outdoor track season is now in full swing and this weekend he travels to Las Vegas!
