Anchorage State NYO

nyo nyo nyo...!!!

Jackie and I left to Bethel on that day around 9:15 a.m. Alex Joekay (Jackies dad) brought Jackie and I to Bethel by snow-machine by Joe Lomack so Sharron Wegner could pick Jackie and I there. For you people who are reading this, you're probably wondering why Jackie and I are in Bethel. Well, on April 22nd Jackie and I, and other student or athletes were going to Anchorage for the State N.Y.O meet. That was the last N.Y.O meet and it was a whole lot of fun to get to know some people that we haven't met and a chance to feel how it feels to get noticed how we do on our events. There were 16 students (including me) from different villages that went to the State N.Y.O as the LKSD All-stars. The students/athletes are Ted Whitman, Rena Tony, Megan Friday, Amanda Black, Delcie Davis, Carrie Beaver, Daniel Andrew 3rd, Chinace Egoak, Laura Terchik, Andrew White, Frank Link, Thomas Albert, Moses Charles, Alicia Chagluak, Jackie Joekay, and Yako McCarr. They were all very hard-working, friendly, competitive people and I think they were the best people I ever met. What I was thinking of them was wrong, most of them are funny and like to hang out with people.
Anchorage was like the best place to hang out with the team. During most times some of us would hang out by ourselfs and I thought it was okay because some people need their own SPACE! So there was also Monica (? last name), Paul Paul, Marty Smith, Charlie Isaac, and Sharon Heklinger. (? last name)
The NYO was being held at Den'aina (spelling?) Center and it was a mighty huge building! You should have been there. There was people all over the place. Den'aina Center is a 3 story building and we were just on the 1st floor! The first day was a little exciting and it was my day to do Alaskan high kick. Most of the LKSD group was there to support me during the event and I was glad. I would have never been able to kick so high. It's too bad that I was only able to get to 68''. It's okay, I have next year....I hope =D....So on, after that our LKSD boy was still going on Alaskan high kick. That boy is Andrew White from Kipnuk. He broke a state record that was 96"... I think or 93''. ....
After that we went to eat out at 5th Ave. Mall, which is only like 1 or 2 blocks away from Den'aina Center. We ate there for lunch and there were some dollar limits. Like $20, $30 or even $13...it was a money thing for Sharon. The LKSD went together and some people had to pair up with each other. It was all over!!! I'm confused because I could only remember some parts. Anchorage was like a messy room being cleaned. I was getting confused and mixed up. But I had a whole lot of fun on the last day. LKSD team got in 2nd place because everyone did their best. Amanda Black, Moses Charles, and Andrew White broke state records or either made a record. It was all exciting and we went to the store, ate out at a restraunt to celebrate. There was a dance on the last day which was fun, fun, fun! It was our chance to shine and spend the last day together as an LKSD group. Delcie, Rena, Andrew, Frank, Moses, Daniel, Jackie, Sharon, Marty, Monica, Laura, Ted, Megan, Me, Thomas, Alicia, and Yako had their last day it was sad. No one in that group didn't want to leave each other. There was good-byes and miss you. Some had relatives and so did I. I saw my cousins and it was the last time I saw Paul at the dance. the dance was was Cook Inlet. So the very next day after the dance we were going home. We all had to wake up around 9 in the morning to get everything ready. The two vans were filled up and we left to the airport from Holiday Inn Express. .........................................Were on the plane and.......we get to Bethel, no one says good-bye to the Oscarville girls. :( (cry) jks. Jackie and I were waiting to get picked up at the Bethel airport and we were dropped off at Joe Lomack to be picked up by Jackies parents. Her parents came and were excited to hear how we did. I told her parents that I got a bruise from the very first day being in Anchorage. Jackies dad looked surprised and laughed. (smile) I remember a time......when I came home and I wanted to go back to Anchorage.
