Proudofmy8, I also enjoy seeing my kids recognized for achievements on the websites for the activities that they are involved in. I think my son enjoys seeing his accomplishments posted too. I think most parents and children like that type of recognition. I see nothing wrong with that and it probably helps motivate them. I have people at work and family out of town that follow my son's progress now on this website and my son's club website. Last year they knew at work how my son did at State before I got back to work the next Monday.
The main thing my son asks me about from week to week is how his competition from other parts of the State did that weekend. He and I both like to follow that. For us that is what we find to be the most valuable thing about results being posted. We are even interested now in other kids from different age and weight brackets whom we have met over the last few years. It is just good to see how they are doing.
