Mohawk or No Mohawk

That was the question........I guess at Coconino High School it is kind of a tradition for the basketball team to get Mohawks!! Justin debated about it for two day but the final decision was.......MOHAWK!!!  Looks good huh?!

HE DID IT~!

JUSTIN MADE THE VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM AT COCONINO HIGH SCHOOL!!!!

It has been quite a process....the biggest obstacle for him was the fact that all players has to be able to run a 6 minute mile....that is fast!! Running has never been his favorite thing but he worked really hard and after running his first attempt at 6 minutes 10 seconds(dang it - so close) he jogged the second day to save his legs and then on day three.....he did it!! He did it!!  5 minutes 56 seconds...Yahoo!  After that and another week of tough try-outs he has made the team..Paul and I are excited to watch this season of basketball!! But most of all we hope Justin has a great time playing

YAHOO!!! YIPPEE!!!

This has turned out to be a very, very good day!!! This is the week of basketball tryouts for Justin at his new school,  Coconino High School. One of the requirements for the varsity team is that each player has to run a 6-minute mile....yes, that is 6 minutes...That just seems fast doesn't it?!  Running has never really been Justin's favorite thing and he has been doing a lot of it lately to get ready for this timed test.  The first run was on Monday and unfortunately his time was 6:10...just a bit too long which meant that he and everyone else that did not get it in 6 had to run the mile every day untill they get it... Today was the day!!! Justin's time today was............yes...... 5:56!!!! I was so totally excited to get his text that said, "I got it!".  I had been silently praying all day that this would be the day.  Now, on with two hour tryouts every night! Here's hoping he makes the team, but if he does not, I am still so very proud of him!! Good Job Justin~!
