Track and Field with Thomas

Earlier in the spring, Thomas participated in the fourth grade pentathlon.  He placed 1st in his class in many of the events (very proud Mom), but his best event was the ball throw.  He threw for 32 meters!  The first week of June, he was invited to participate in the Interscholastic Track and Field competition with other schools in the Brussels area.  He was asked to represent the fourth grade boys from ISB in the ball throw.  He did a really super job.  The farthest he was able to throw that day was 28 meters, and the winner threw 29+ meters.  Oh, was he ever disappointed.  But, I told him he should be very proud of his accomplishment.  In his eyes though....he still lost. :(

Please don't bite your tongue off.  He gets it honestly.  My whole family does this!

 This track event has a very happy ending.  ISB won the meet.  Here they are finding out the GREAT news!  

Can you see Thomas's reaction on the far left side?

 Team ISB!!!

A pic with the trophy he REALLY wanted to take home.

Way to go Thomas.  We are so proud of you!  We suspect there will be more great things to come in track and field.  We can't wait to see what the future holds.

Until next time,
Wendy
