Annika wasn't able to participate because the semi-finals were held the afternoon of Sheela's wedding. I gave Annika the choice to stay and compete (since she had qualified in two events) or go to the wedding and she chose the wedding. So there wasn't much for her to do on Sports Day.
August on the other hand was a different story. The Prep kids didn't do any qualifying because their events were tailored to their age group so he participated in everything.
Hanuman
There is a Hanuman temple on the way to Indus. I asked Gopi to pick us up a few minutes early so we could stop by the temple on the way to school. Hanuman is an extremely fast runner (you could even call it God-like) so I thought it might give August an edge if he had Hanuman's blessing before the events.
We stopped and the kids and I had Puja.
Hanuman's blessing did the trick because August got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in his 3 events.
