And the 3rd place winner of the 1500 meter endurance run is.....

What is really cool is that we captured this shot of Matt around the 5th lap when he realized that he was doing quite well. It's like he was thinking "yeah! I am doing great! I can do this..."

He also ran in the 4x50 m relay and his grade 7 Merapi (house team---green shirts and all) team came in 2nd. He didn't do as many events as Abby, but those he did he did well in. All in all, both Abby and Matt each had a great sports day.

Here are a few photos of the day, with a few of Abby's day thrown in because, well, what parent doesn't like to post pictures of their kids....especially when relatives are reading this blog?!

This guy is Haddon, Matt's friend. Today he was the enemy (rival teams and all) but they still hung out together. They look rather Christmassy, actually!
We call the relay one "Poser..." Such style, such form! The one of Tris is called "Tris the Timer." He sat in one chair all day with his thumb on the timer chord.
