This afternoon/evening was a dinner to honor the graduation seniors
who have played a sport at UVU.
In total there was 53 of them. Up from 46 last year. Also a great GPA among them...
Jake pictured with the Mascot and his good friend Allah.
Several tables were set up and 4 tv screens with highlights. A man spoke and we took pictures. Simple and easy and I was so glad to be there. It was a bit tricky getting off work and getting there. Tricky as in not a lot of time after work.
All the sports teams were there but as these kids stood up and gathered themselves for this picture. I cried. These kids are his friends. He has trained, ran and hung out with them and I recognize them all from track meets. He has spent more time with them than us.
He has traveled, trained, tested, studied and played with this group of kids.
He has a ton of friends. Kids who have already graduated, kids on missions and
younger class men. This has been the best experience for Jake.
These are the boys who sprinted with him.
Proud of him!
