Last weekend, Tanner made the trip to the Great Plains Conference water ski tourney (also the last one of these tourneys) and skied two events on the "A" team for Iowa (trick and jump).
We were so excited to chat with him on Sunday morning as he recounted his jump experience to us! He was the 2nd men's skier to jump on Sunday so had to be up early to and he landed not one, not two, but ALL three of his jumps (34, 36 and 37 feet)!! Quite the feat considering he had been on water skis twice in his life before skiing for Iowa. I love how one of his teammates yells, "Fly little Hawkeye" as he is attempting the jump. 💛 And really, isn't that what we want for our kids? Fly. And Learn. And Stumble. And Grow.
Unfortunately, Iowa finished last in the conference tourney and did not make it to the regional tournament in Decatur - how amazing would it have been to have him here with us this weekend. We can't wait to see him tomorrow!
