OK - so you know I love this kid... but as she so succinctly explained it after coming home from track one day this season. "Mom, I feel like Danny in Grease - the coach moves me to a new event every other week, trying to find what I'm good at!"
Well, she may not be great at track, and she may have had to take 3 weeks off right as the season got underway when she sprained her ankle, but she was dedicated, and she really enjoyed it - even if the best placement she ever got in any event was 2nd to last!! And, she plans to do it again next year.... and she's settled in on an event where she'll train all next season - throwing!
Here she is mid long-jump. She had great form here.... just not great distances! I didn't get any photos of her sprinting... the girl likes to run, but isn't that fast!
Throwing the Shot-Put... harder than it looks!
Discus.... she had decent beginner distances in this event - and even beat one girl from the opposing school at this meet!
