Sarah competed in the 100m sprint, 4x100 and long jump. Unfortunately, she missed a few events she wanted to try, like shot put, due to conflicting event times. Oh well, there is always next year.
Nick competed in the high jump and long jump. He was competing against some very good kids, and some older ones too. Due to the long time it took to complete the high jump, he missed several other events. He was not complaining though. Even though the track meet started at 830am, it was still pretty hot by the time we left about 1130am. It was hot enough that I was sweating just watching them and taking pictures.
Oh, did I mention pictures.
There was a photo-finish in the 100m. Well not exactly, but my photo does show it was a very close race. Sarah finished third. The girl on the right drifted in and out of Sarah's lane and may have slowed Sarah down, but anyone who can run that fast with sunglasses on top of their head is pretty fast.





Early on, Nick's form in the high jump was not too impressive and I did not give him much of a chance at winning. However, the guy running the event gave all of the kids advice after each jump. Nick listened carefully, made adjustments and really improved his form.


The form gets better.

And better.
