Excited mom alert!

Zack is breaking records and people are starting to look...
(Click on the image if you can't read it.)
This link was sent to me this morning by a college coach that was at the meet last night when Zack broke both the HS shot put record and the HS weight throw record.
He placed 2nd last night at a college throw and out threw every college student at the meet. The 1st place thrower was a 24 year old Lithuanian man who is going to start throwing for GVSU. He was throwing "unattached" (as in not throwing for any particular college at the meet) which is how Zack has to throw also. Zack placed 9th with the weight throw, competing against all college guys and this is only the second time Zack has thrown the weight.
Exciting times!
Smiles!
