After catching word of his wonderful accomplishment of the US Paralympic All American Athlete Award, Donovan's school surprised him during an assembly today!! This video brought me to tears!!! A whole school standing ovation!! And yes, Donovan does have a wig on for spirit day of Homecoming week!! :-)
Upon opening mail today after I got back from vacation, there was a large envelope. It was addressed to Donovan. Upon opening this envelope, we were immediately in tears!!!
Donovan had competed in all track events in New Jersey over the summer in July. The track events ranged from the 100m to the 5000m. At National competition, the U.S. Paralympic scouts were there observing. Apparently Donovan demonstrated some outstanding athleticism in the 5000 meter with a time of 15:35!! This time on the track earned him a great honor of being named: 2015 All American Athlete in Track & Field in the 5000 meter!!! |
