National Champ!!

Power House!
I'm so proud of my man. He went to a track meet, at the age of 43, and came away with the gold medal in the discus competition.
He has always had a passion for track and field, and has kept with his training even after college. While he attended Boise State University, he was 4 time All American and made it to the Olympic trials. At the trials he pulled his groin muscle, which prevented him from going any further. This was his first meet with the masters division at the USA track and field event in Spokane, WA. He came away with the gold medal and is now first in the discus in the nation. GO Steven!!
