Track Season

Last Wednesday was the first track meet for Sierra and Megan. Instead of baseball this year, we decided to try youth track. It has been a lot of fun. Megan's comment after the first practice was, "How am I going to win all of those events." Megan took first in her group for the long jump. She jumped 7 feet 9 inches. Sierra was a trooper and participated in the shock put, long jump, javeline, 100 meter and 200 meter runs. Megan also did the 50, 100, 200, and 4 x100 relay, along with the javeline. She was upset that she missed the 400 and 800 meter races, but plans on doing those at the track meet tomorrow. It was really fun to watch them.

This was Megan's winning long jump.



Sierra doing the long "skip"



Megan during the 50 meter dash was almost to the finish line and her shoe fell off. She had to learn the lesson of picking yourself up and finishing anyway. This picture was just before her shoe fell off.



Sierra and Megan just finished the 200 meter race. Sierra said, "I wanted to stop, but I knew I had to finish." She decided that she would stick with the 50 and 100 meter races.

A little bit blurry, but Megan doing the 4 x 100.

This post cracks me up. First, Megan being the little competitive girls she is. Second, just how different those 2 girls are. I loved it!
