When Triton eighth grader Adriana Kunz won her second consecutive state championship last weekend in St. Paul, an arena full of fans and spectators applauded her as the referee raised her hand in victory.
While almost every set of hands in attendance was either clapping, whistling or high fiving, her father’s remained steady, trying to his best to record the moment his daughter became a two-time champion.
