Mom, Sis & Kirin got home from the Yakima State Competition at 1:00a, with  tear tired EXHAUSTED faces - SMILING.

 

Granddaughter get's up 4 days a week for their 6:15a practices, with frequent performances for Mercer Island activities in between and even a lot of Saturdays. It's a year round sport with hardly any summer break. 

 

Last night, the Mercer Island District School Board honored MI Drill team for getting 1st place for the first time in MI High School history. It's an honor to get first place in one category, but they accomplished it in all three - Pom, Military, Kick. 

 

Kira gave a short story at the meeting of how it felt saying, "When they announced the winners that evening and started with third place and they announced another school; I thought, oh well, maybe we have a chace for second. Then another school was announced for second. I didn't think we could have gotten first so when they annouced us in first place, I screamed and was in tears, not believing it."

 

Wow!! Congrats
