Today was another busy day for sports in the Peterson family.<\/p>\n
Miles and I drove to Denver early this morning to the Colorado High School Boys 5A Championship Tournament. He was playing in the 1st singles division which meant he and the other top 15 high school players in the state were competing. He had one of those epic matches that lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. He won the first set 6-3. The second set was a see-saw battle that went to a tie breaker and he came up short. In the third set he sort of ran out of steam as his opponent captured the momentum and took it 6-3. It wasn’t the result he had hoped for, but he played well and was honored to have made it that far.<\/p>\n
We drove back to the Springs to watch Kendra and her volley ball team play their last game of the season. They won convincingly. The last point was actually rather comical. Kendra was serving, and it looked like her serve was going long, so the girl on the receiving end tried to duck out of the way. The problem was that the ball was coming at her faster than she expected and it hit her in the head. Point for the Spartans, set and match! Everyone gave Kendra a bad time, but a win is a win!<\/p>\n
We are finally done with fall sports! Congratulations to Miles, Kendra and Eli! At last we will get to enjoy some quiet evenings at home… at least until the next season starts up!<\/p>\n
One final sports event of the day. This morning Hydi flew to Arizona for the weekend. She and her team mates from Colorado Springs are playing in the national championships of the USTA Ladies 4.5 tennis tournament after having won the state tournament and the West regional tournament! Go Hydi!<\/p>\n
