Track and Field Day

Emilymae's very first tract day was great! It was cold and drizzly and though she had developed a cold the night before we let her go, after all she had practiced for over 2 weeks. Her 1st event was the good old 3 legged race. she and her partner Cassidy got third. Next Emily raced to a second place finish in the 40m race. There was 2 heats and the a race of the top in each heat and man can those girls run. The highlight of the day was her jump over 1.2m in standing broad jump to take first place. We didn't even know she won until they handed ribbons out as they don't jump over and over like high jump, just the best of 3 tries. Emily also entered ball throw but didn't place, she was pretty wiped out and cold by then and felt like her hands were very stiff but one girl who had not don well in other events got a ribbon and we were happy for her. Emily will get to compete in the district tract meet in the 40m and standing broad. Not sure when but we'll keep you posted.
