Sectionals 11/11/18..Laura 100 Butterfly...First Place

ooooo Let it go Laura..let it go...I really dont know why but I break out in the Frozen song when she's flying down the lane....but what a freaking exciting race this was.  She was racing against a Senior whom she had never beaten before.  Laura got a great jump off the block and off she went, the turns were great and she got an arms length of a lead and never lost it....And saying an arms length....well, it was more of a hands length...Oh my goodness it was so exciting...The feeling that you get...yeah, you get the point.... have you ever gone to Fenway Park for a walk off victory....I remember being in section 18 when Jim Rice hit a grand slam in the ninth inning, into the bullpen to walk off to victory...and another time when Jeff Stone hit a gap shot double in the tenth during the Morgan Miracle....well, you might get the point.....But with those you could just stand up and scream and jump up and down....Here, it has to be more reserved.  Its exciting because its more personal...but you just lose it.....All four have provided us with that same feeling....I'll never forget Jimmy hitting a walk off homer to right center to end the Bay State league championship....and who could forget Catherine's first reverse double back hand spring and Jackie hitting his first home runner with the guy in the stands yelling EVERYBODY GOOOO....Its really been quite the ride!!

she stands alone....I wonder why

ALEX !!!

Of course Mr. Ring wouldnt miss such a huge meet for his star pupil.  After Laura's huge victory she came up to the cheap seats and Mr. Ring was so excited for her and led her with some more advice.  We are so lucky to have a Mr. Ring in our life.
Ahhhh, how can you top this....well next week is the real big one!!!
