Jake still rules

Oçonnor Catholic College just held its athletics carnival today and despite an under 12 from Uralla smashing 3 records, Jake Roff still holds the under 12 triple and high jump records at the College. You rule Jake!

Dad, I note you are happy to take the credit for coaching Jake the high jump, and no doubt you'll claim credit for Nomes state hurdles title too.

Well it may suprise you that you also had a 3rd child at Little A's, battling away and teaching himself to hurdle and high jump. Sorry I couldn't break any records for you dad, but I wasn't looking to, I was just looking for a kind word or a bit of support...

I still believe the Western Roll will become fashionable again soon...

Joe, don't worry, I think that Mum and Dad, in their inclusive way, still have a photo of you throwing a discus at some local event.

Glenn, stop living through your children.

Grant, I'm pretty sure Damian was my P.E. teacher at the time, so you are implicating him in all of this.

Damio, thanks for the update. In terms of past sporting performance, those two records are the things I am holding on to the closest, so keep an eye on them for me please.

I'm sure all our thoughts, as mine did, go out to Joe for the clear neglect he suffered as a child. So much for the "we don't have any favourites" cliche Glenn regularly delivers. The thought of the little fellow, alone on the field at dusk still practicing the Western Roll long after everyone else had gone home, breaks my heart..

Hey, Stuart: no sledging. We should be trying to set a good example for our children. Are you coming to the GP?
