While we were in Kenya, Wesley attended a week of camp at IMG Academy in Bradenton to focus on high jump and the long jump. Parker dropped him up on Sunday afternoon and picked him up on Friday night.
Wesley had a great time. His jumps coach is a Ukranian national champion for long jump. And her husband is a Ukranian Olympic medalist (bronze medal, Rio games). He came and met Wesley and gave him some pointers on his jump approach.
Wesley also learned how to do a standing high jump during the week.
They held a quadrathlon on Thursday night with the broad jump, triple jump, 30m dash and the shotput. Wesley won the whole thing and got this super cool medal!
He also won the sportsmanship award for the men and got this Gatorade cooler with a towel and bunch of Gatorade hydration packets inside.
He got great reports from the coaches about all that he did during the week. So very proud of him!
