Hey everyone! As a follow up to my last post, I am pleased to report that the New York Giants are the winners of the Super Bowl! Although it was a close game, the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots with a final score of 21-17. Talk about a nail biter! The Giants have played in the Super Bowl five times, and have won four times including this year. Although there can only be one winner, both teams should be extremely proud for making it to the final round.

Speaking of sports, since the seasons are changing here, so are the high school sports! The sports year is divided up into three seasons: fall, winter, and spring. There are different sports that only occur during these seasons. For example, American football and tennis are fall sports, basketball and soccer (football) are winter sports, and baseball and track and field are spring sports. Since I am not involved in a winter sport, I am in pre-season for my spring sport, Track and field! Track and field is a sport comprised of different athletic activities based on running, jumping, and throwing. 

In the running category, there are long distance, sprinters, and relays. In the jumping category, there is long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault. In the throwing competition, there is shot put and discus. There truly is an activity good for each unique person. Since I am so tall, jumps are a good fit for me. I am on the varsity long jump and triple jump team, and can't wait to start another competitive season.

What event would you do if you were in track? Running, jumping, or throwing? Let me know in the comments!

Super Football

New England Patriots

New York Giants

Hey everyone! This Sunday is the Super Bowl for American football! Every fall football season, football teams from all over the country face off until the two best teams are decided. Then, those two teams go head to head in the Super Bowl! This year the two teams in the Super Bowl are the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Since these two teams are fighting for the best title out there, fans get really into it. Every Super Bowl, there are parties, games, and friendly rivalries. It's always fun to guess who will win and what score they will get, and see who gets it right!

Me and my friend from last
year's Super Bowl
Go Saints!

Since it is such a big game, it is almost impossible to get tickets. It is watched on TV's everywhere. Over 110 million people tune in to the game, making it the most watched event in history! Since so many people watch it, advisors pay big bucks to get their 30 seconds of fame on a commercial. The average cost for a 30 second commercial is between $2.5 million and $2.8 million! The best commercials of the year always appear on the Super Bowl since it is such a heavily watched event. Its one of the only times you don't mind watching commercials on TV!

Although every sporting event has a big finale, this is the most watched, supported, and anticipated one. I can't wait to share with you the winner!
