Today the students at Ponce Christian Academy competed in a track and field competition. Our school has 65 students and about half that number in 7th - 12th grades. We were up against 5 other schools, of which at least 3 are much larger than ours (200-300+). Between 15 and 20 of our students participated, and most had multiple assignments.
Throughout the day we had trouble keeping events stocked since our teens were often needed in two areas at the same time. This resulted in several forfeited events, but the kids all did their best. At the end of the day we hoisted the second place trophy into the air with at least as much satisfaction as the school that took top honors. Our coach got doused with Gatorade and everyone raised two fingers into the air.
Nathan and Bethany each did their part. Nathan scored one bronze medal and several fourth place finishes which gave us much needed points. Bethany had one fourth place finishes and 5 medals. Several other students took 7 or 8 medals home! Needless to say they are all rather exhausted.
