I tried to think of a clever title for this blog, but I went with the headline for the weekend. It was a joy and a pleasure for us to be in Decatur, Illinois to watch Drake jump over 100 feet yet again! He ended up beating every one that beat him the prior weekend and was able to clinch a spot on the podium with a jump of 103 feet. What a story of hard work and perseverance and seeing your efforts pay off.
This was a 3-day tourney so we left on Thursday night with Drake is tow once again (after working from Farmer School of Business for the afternoon and watching the Homecoming Parade). We worked from the hotel on Friday and besides spending time at the lake, we took in a little hike at the nature preserve, tried out some local places and explored the downtown. While it was the end of September, the temperatures reached into the upper 80s all weekend and certainly felt like summer at the lake.
The team took home 3rd place, earned a spot at nationals and took home the spirit award for the 4th year in a row! What a way to wrap up our time with Drake before we headed on to Iowa.
