Theres a lot of downtime at the meets, so you never know what these goofballs will come up with.
Somehow, Laura was lucky enough to be put on a team with her best friend Cherry. So far, she's raced hurdles, some sprints, the 400m (once around the track) and the high jump. She had 2 really close sprints where she came in 2nd and is a rock star on the long jump in practices. The longer races are more challenging, but her coaches focused on that this week, so she's feeling confidant about her 800m this Friday night. Her meets last a whopping 4 hours on Friday nights and it has been COLD! But everyone still leaves with a smile.
Adam's meets are on Saturday morning for 3 hours. He's blown them away in broad jump, baseball throw and the 100m. His down time is mostly unsupervised while Jim takes Laura to karate and I help with the meet and he's been handling it so well. It feels good to trust your kid!
This is his team's shuttle relay. They'll start regular relays when they get older. That's my back and ponytail at the finish line, I get to call out the order of finishers! With a microphone! Oh the power...
