Tashena had another track meet yesterday! Usually I really love watching her compete but it was unbelievably cold. Even though I was freezing I was still so proud of her! She took first place in the long jump and second place in shot put! In the discus, which is her best event, she threw 132.1 feet! Yes! You read that correctly! She threw 132.1 feet which is her best distance ever. She shattered the high school record and one of the coaches told my brother-in-law that Tashena would place in the top 40 in the nation on the college level with that distance! Of course our family has always believed that she is incredibly talented but it is an amazing feeling to hear all of the other coaches, parents, and students cheering for her by name! I always tease her about watching her compete at the Olympics but I may need to start saving my money for a trip to Tokyo in 2020!
