My nephew Braden swims for a local high school and was named in the Statesman Journal newspaper on December 7, 2007!
(Read it here. The newspaper clipping I scanned is a little hard to read.)
In case you can't read the tiny print in the newspaper clipping I scanned , it says…
"7. McKay
COACH: Jim Wiens, 22nd year.
LAST YEAR'S league placing: Seventh place.
KEY ATHLETES
Braden Larson, jr.: The team's best hope for a placer at the district level."
Braden won 1st place in the 500m Freestyle on December 13, 2007.
Go Braden!
