District Free Throw Contest

Julia shows off her certificate.

Julia made nine of 15 free throws last month at the Knights of Columbus free throw shooting to earn a trip to the District contest. I was really impressed with her performance because Emily (the basketball player in the family) made two of 15. Two.

So after Emily won her game this morning and we celebrated with pizza at Lansky's, we headed over to the decrepit dungeon that is the gymnasium at St. Agnes and watched Julia compete. She did really well in warm-ups, but had trouble hitting her stride during her 25 attempts. She made nine – yes, the same number that she made in 10 fewer attempts in the school contest. Still, it was enough to earn her third place. The winner earned the right to drive all the way to Hastings to compete in the state free throw shooting contest. Good luck with that.
