Leslie Sykes reported for ABC Eyewitness News recently from the Burbank, California Boys and Girls Club where Olympic champion Michael Phelps was visiting while dispensing good will and good advice on water safety to the kids. Sykes described the scene:"Phelps talked to an exciting group of youngsters at the Burbank Boys and Girls Club."
Ms. Sykes meant excited group of youngsters. The difference being that the boys and girls were not the agents or cause of the excitement, that agency fell to multi-gold medalist Phelps.
The exuberant boys and girls were the recipients of Phelps' thrilling visit, they produced the "effect" of being excited, stirred up, aroused. Phelps provoked the excitement, the kids reacted in an aroused manner.
exciting--present participle as adjective: thrilling, stirring, provoking, causing excitement
