Last week was the championship for Andrew's Track team. They had the meet at the high school right next to Andrew's middle school which was nice for us because they could have picked any of the other schools in the county..... The meet started at noon and we brought with us lots of water, fruit, and cheese for the boys team. For a bunch of teenagers, I was very surprised at the amount of "Thank You's" that we received when we showed up with our cooler filled with goodies.
Andrew runs the 400 (1/4 mile) and has the 3rd fastest time on his team. During practice he has consistently run 4 seconds faster than at the meets. He lets the pressure of wanting to win psych him out. This time he ran 1.5 seconds faster than he has ever run at a meet and came in 4th out of all 21 boys that ran (3 boys from each of the 7 schools participating). Of course, he was disappointed that he didn't come in 1st place, but Keith & I are very proud of him. Overall, the school came in 3rd place for both the boys and girls teams. I cannot wait until next season!
Waiting for his turn:
