We had our state meet this week and I am really proud of my guy. It was not his best meet and I knew something wasn't quite right. When he came out in tears before awards with a "my head hurts SOOOO bad". Not the best time for the first migraine of the pollen season. To add insult to injury, he was 17th overall and needed to be 15th for the regional (which was the goal of the year).
At this meet there were 18 in his group. They gave 2 awards for each event. I do not have an issue with going giving select awards, however if that is what we are going to do, then we need to be more consistent about it. Or at the very least they let us know in advance so we can prep kids. At every other meet they go out 50%. So to be in 3rd and not be in the medals was a shocker. How are awards handled at your state meet?
