Track

Caitlyn had the opportunity to participate in Track this year as a 6th grader. She only got to participate in three track meets due to the weather and scheduling but she enjoyed every minute of it. She was so upset when she came upstairs Thursday morning and saw snow! She didn't want another track meet to be canceled. When asked what she liked about Track she replied "Everything". She likes competing against people she didn't know, and see how fast she was. Her favorite event was the long jump and 4x100 relay. Her least favorite was the 4x200 relay because she had to be the last runner and didn't like to run in front of the stands. She improved each and every week. It will be fun to watch her next year too! She is already looking forward to it. She is also looking forward to playing with her classmates in volleyball and basketball instead of against them.

At her conference meet she placed 2nd in the long jump with a personal best jump of 12 ft 6 in. She placed 5th in the 100 meter dash...although it was a pretty close finish I would have liked to see the camera to determine actual finish. She ran the 4x100 but they got DQ and she wasn't happy about that. This meet was the only meet they lost in. They placed 3 in the 4x200 and just missed placing in the 200. It was a long day but well worth it. It is amazing how proud you are of your children when they got out and work their hardest and have fun doing it. I will admit Craig and I both had tears in our eyes at different times during the season because we were so proud of her! Good job Caitlyn!
