Month: August 2012

Today all three girls competed in the Junior PA State Championships road bike race, in the 10-12 year old bracket.  It was at the California Grand Prix in California, PA.  They all raced very well.  Jenya came in 2nd, very close behind the winner.  Ana came third, and De was fourth.  Jenya and Ana both fought very hard for their finishes – very impressive.

 

Jenya and Ana got medals, and they all received little gifts – water bottles, bike lights, things like that.  It was a very fun time.  The coach from Team Citius, Fred, was there and was as usual wonderfully helpful to the girls – he's so great with kids, they are very lucky. 

Last night De went to a baseball game with the Jewart clan.  Earlier this spring she had won a trip with her coach Alex and his daughter/her friend Maddie as a prize in the end of year celebration, so this outing was it.  She had a great time, despite her almost complete lack of interest in baseball. 

Jenya and Ana both had skating tests today — Jenya tested Juvenile Moves in the Field & Ana tested Pre-Juvenile Moves.  Both girls passed!
