Prior family scrap book
Wonderful holiday week in Woodbury and Newton (Woodbury Photos, Newton Photos).
I like to embed a few photos in the post for posterity but can’t pick my favorites right away. Let me know yours!
My favorite is the video:
Here are the Woodbury Photos:
Here are the Newton Photos:
Kayla opened her 2012 Season with an indoor personal best 16’1.75″ at the Mass State Track Coaches Association Winter Festival (results, photos, milesplit coverage, Newton Tab). Newton took 1st, 3rd, and 4th with only 1 athlete from the other 45 other competitors sneaking in for 2nd. Kayla currently ranks 10th in the state. She placed 17th in the open last year indoors and ranked 25th among returning athletes.

The news went out by email, but merits a sports.priorfamily entry for posterity and to organize some useful links. Kayla was accepted to her first choice major and school in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College in the Strategic Communication department‘s communication management and design program! She has been hoping to attend Ithaca since she was a sophmore and saw it as a match to her background and interests. She was accepted “early decision” and has already sent in her deposit. According to the academic calendar, classes start Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 (not that we are counting down or anything).
She will compete for the Ithaca Bombers (media guide). Her first meet will be sometime in early December at the Cornell Relays. Ithaca is 5:45 from Newton and 4.5hrs from Woodbury. Her teammate Kayla Wong was accepted at Cornell, so there will be some opportunities for car pools and ongoing competitions. They will have a meet in Boston sometime in February. She would be 4th on their long jump depth chart today.
Mom and Dad and Jared and the other Kayla are so proud!
