Nice post from a proud Mom...and she should be. We often celebrate the best, the streaks, the winningest, the Most Exciting, etc. but fail to recognize those who do not make it to State. There are illnesses, injuries, taking ACT/SAT tests and, sometimes, just not making the right moves, but it should not diminish from the effort given. Just having our children in the gym is an achievement and having them in the best shape they will ever be in is ample reward. I also salute those whose season fell short by one week, but participated in the best sport available to young men and women.
