It&#8217;s been a good seven days. Last week he hit a new best on the bench press at 250, then did a PB with the 12 lb shot put of 32&#8217;11&#8221; at a meet in Beacon, NY. And the next day squatted 335 lbs &#8211; another PB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday he went to a <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/high-school\/football\/events\/nike-sparq-combines\/2012\/\" target=\"_self\">Nike\/Sparq<\/a> combine on Randall&#8217;s Island. It is similar to the NFL combine, although only four tests. It&#8217;s for boys who think they&#8217;d like to play football after high school. Mostly juniors take part, but Tim came 47th out of 147 freshman who were there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Tuesday he WON the Jr. Novice Championship (freshman &amp; sophomores!) in the javelin at Icahn Stadium on Randall&#8217;s. He had a throw of 120.5 ft. He was also a finalist in the shot put, with another PB of 33&#8242;, but didn&#8217;t medal. The rest of this week he has meets today, Friday and Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a long shot of Tim with his friend Liam (a pole vaulter and football player) in Beacon, and below that is the faithful Brigid, watching as the schools get ready for a series of relays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e20167660c572b970b-500wi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12015\" title=\"IMG_8281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e20167660c572b970b-500wi.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e20167660c572b970b-500wi-300x285.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mom &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201630518ebd4970d-500wi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12014\" title=\"IMG_8277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201630518ebd4970d-500wi.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tomfarandasfolly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/6a00d834525a2f69e201630518ebd4970d-500wi-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As in personal best, or personal record.
