Maya was honored with three awards at the high school this evening. Oddly, she choose to celebrate afterwards by covering her face in green mud. Had there been an award for frog like appearance  she would have won that one as well. She was nominated by both her soccer and cross country skiing coaches to receive the Rotary Club’s Class Act Award, one of only two students to do so in two sports. She also received an award for Excellence in Community Service based on her volunteer work throughout the year.

I attended the ceremony in my soccer gear so I could leave for practice immediately afterward. My hamstring felt strong and I expect to be back on the pitch for my match this weekend.
