Bonus Day
There was a huge championship sporting event today: the indoor track state meet, of course!
It was a really, really good day for us.
It's always fun, as a coach, when a bunch of your athletes end up with medals around their necks, and they definitely did today (11 of them, to be specific), but what's even better is that they all did the best they possibly could. Five of those medals were gold, nearly every athlete PRed, four of our school records came down...
And the sportsmanship!
Athletes from different teams were cheering for each other, shaking hands and high-fiving after competing, and helping each other out. It was so good to see that. When another team's coach came looking for spikes for one of her hurdlers, one of our girls took them out of her shoes so this hurdler could put them in, and then got them back before her own race. When the officials needed help moving the starting blocks, athletes from multiple teams- including ours- immediately pitched in. And this one's my favorite: when a team celebrating two birthdays learned that one of our athletes was also celebrating her birthday, they immediately gave her some of the cake they'd brought.
Oh, and I got to see my little cousin race and PR (and my aunt and uncle bought me lunch!), and that was great, too!
Basically, everything about today made me smile. I'm so thrilled about how well we did as a team, and so proud of our athletes. The Head Coach and I really could not have asked for a better day.

🎃 Fan L4D2 campaign poster with Hallowe'en garb 🎃
~~~~~
This is one of my favourite pieces I've ever completed to date, it's just a shame I couldn't finish it in time for Hallowe'en yesterday. But everyday is Hallowe'en with the survivors.
I just...want more Left 4 Dead content. Valve, I'm begging.

It’s so funny how the second Neil stands his ground he from then on out looks at Kevin and is just like “we are done taking everyone’s shit, we do not back down, we have a new shot at life and we’re sure af not gonna waste it being cowards” and Kevin is just like “We?!”

Bonus Day
I spent the day in Boston today because some of the sprinter girls were competing in the New England Championship at Reggie Lewis, which is one of the coolest indoor track facilities to get to race at. It's a big meet, and three of them were making their debut, so it was pretty exciting.
They didn't do quite as well as they'd wanted, even though one did tie her school record in the 55m dash and sprint to a top-15 finish. She'd wanted to make the finals, and, as a relay, they'd wanted another PR. They came close, but it's tough to sustain that level of speed over a long season, especially after laying it all out there to win a state title. They still ran really well. The Head Coach and I are proud of them, and, ultimately, I think they went home happy.
And, I mean, it really was a great season.
Only one of them is graduating, so here's hoping we'll be back in Boston next year, too!

My boy Kageyama bonked his head on a volleyball cart - turns out sharp metal will slice your skin right open ☠️
Head injuries bleed like wild so he's shaken up, but Ukai's a good coach (dad) and takes care of it 😤👏 Ukai loves his 12 sons fr
Based on a whump fanfic I'll probably never finish the draft for 🤪

Eddie, late: Is Bobby here yet?
Hen: Strangely, no. What did you do?
Buck, excited: He got a new tattoo!
Hen: ...Why do you know that, and why would Bobby care? You have lots of tattoos.
Eddie: Not like this one. This one would get me killed.
Hen: It can't be that bad -
