Marc is an olympian champion.
Yesterday Marc participated in the special olympics held at liberty high school, in Bethlehem. The previous night I had gone through some practice sessions with him in order for him to be ready for the events Jill had signed him up for. The events were the long throw with a softball (large baseball), the 100 metres and the 200 metres. Unfortunately I was at work and could not attend the event, but as it transpired our practice paid off handsomely. The first event was the 100 metres and from what I have seen of it on the camera video Marc seemed to win this one quite easily and took first place. Fantastic...this has been just the second time he has won a blue ribbond for first place as last year he also won an event. The next event was the 200 metres and he was also prominent in this race leading for most of the way except he got tired and was pipped in the last few metres....second place and a red ribbond. Great!!! His last event was the long throw, an event which after our practice I was hopeful he might do well...he came 4th out of 7 participants. All in all a great effort and we celebrated last night with a meal at Red Robins. Great effort on Marcs side and congratulations goes to him.
