We spend 3 weekends of our summer going to soccer tournaments with Tristan's select team, the Rapids. Last year the team had a discouraging season. But this year got off to a GREAT start. The Rapids participated in a tournament almost 2 hours north in Burlington, WA. The team looked so good! We ended up in the finals, and faced a tough team on their home field. The Rapids were on top 1-0 with about 7 minutes left in the game, at which point the opponent scored. Tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, they went into a penalty kick shoot out. The Rapids came up just short with 3 goals compared to their 4. While coming in first would have been amazing, the team felt really good about their 2nd place medals. It was the first time the Rapids, a team in their 3rd year, had placed in a tournament. Way to go Rapids!
