Oh KirkB,
I can't tell you how excited I am for Matthew now we're been discovered by Tom lol. He just loves to vault. We're very fortunate to have an awesome HS coach and I know he comes to a lot of post season events at his own cost to help but he also is the Head T&F coach and XC coach and teaches and...has a life of his own so there's only so much he can do (and he does it and more - thanks always Scott )!!!!
As for supporting Matthew - again thanks for the kind comment - he's such a cool kid and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom. Not bragging for me but telling you about Matt - He's a grade above his age level (which puts him at a disadvantage as an athlete )...4.0 gpa, member of the National Honors Society, class rep on the student council, volunteers in his community - just one of those kids that the news doesn't tell you about. So I figure if the least I can do is help him achieve his dreams...I'll do it
We're in Redmond which is about 30 minutes drive from Summit HS in Bend. Gosh I was contemplating driving him 7 hours RT to PDX to vault there during the winters over a snow covered pass. So this is just incredible.
I'm still going to set up the jungle jim stuff so he can work out at home. When no one is looking I may work on my abs too *chuckle*.
As for camps we did Rick Baggets January clinic this year (and will be doing more with Rick) and we're already planning to go to Reno next January and will be looking for more.
Thank you all for sharing my happiness for Matt and for all of your help and advice...and of course THANK YOU to PVP
