Another track meet tonight! We are enjoying these meets, getting to know better the other students and families involved, and traveling to various tracks in neighboring communities. We had perfect, beautiful weather this evening, too!
I'm getting better at the "Track Mom" thing, I think...
These two are kind of oblivious a lot of the time, really just wanting to hang out and eat snacks while the runners work hard. They did come watch their sister when we told them it was her turn.
Sylvia's coach taped up her shins tonight, and she said it did help a little. Her shins still hurt, but at least the pounding was alleviated a bit while she ran. Coach also took Sylvia off the mile race for this week. I think Sylvia was relieved about that too. Coach said she knows Sylvia is serious about running, and will continue after the season, so she doesn't want her to permanently injure herself now.
Lining up for the 400m... Sylvia is really coming to like running this race! I think she especially enjoyed running it without having to run the mile beforehand tonight.
She asked me to record the whole race. Don't have her time yet, but I think she finished 5th. Sylvia's teammate, River, came in first!

Go Sylvia, go! (By this time, her team was well into last place.)
Sylvia ran hard. She worked hard to pass the girl ahead of her and stayed ahead of her through the rest of her lap!
Passing the baton to Ella to finish up...
There were no bleachers at the track, so the team found a grassy spot to camp out together.
Sylvia did better with her discus throwing today.
This is her second and third throws. Her second was her best of the night at 32'5".
We enjoy watching the boys run their races while we are waiting for Sylvia's turn at discus. Our buddy Reece is running the 200m here.
Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1
