Track season is almost over and I’ve yet to post anything. Sela and Nina have been doing very well so far and are having a great time! Nina is a bundle of nerves the day of the track meets. She worries all day and sometimes actually hopes the meet gets canceled, but when she gets there she does amazing. She called me today when I was driving preschool carpool and said she was so nervous. She said, “I’m trying not to be, but I can’t help it.” I told her maybe chewing some gum would help? I have no idea. My kids worry about not getting first, whereas when I run races, I worry about not getting last! She did just fine though! Both girls run the 440 and relay. Nina does the triple jump for her field event and is unbeaten so far. Sela has done long jump and ball throw for her field events.

Ahhhh, she can relax until next week!

Triple Jump

Mason also runs the 440. They cheer each other on and have had the same results in every meet.
Nina’s 440.

Nina cheering Mason on! After getting elbowed, he came from behind to win.

Hunter being very patient and letting Evan hang on him.

Relay Fun!
Eleanor moving in last year and joining the cross country and track teams has been such a good thing for Sela. She’s become a better runner as they push each other so much. She and Eleanor went back and forth in cross country, and losing a couple actually helped Sela so much. She no longer stresses about the meets and the pressure is off. Plus, they’ve become great friends! They had a photo finish last week in the 440 and both got blue ribbons. This week, another very close finish. I honestly had no idea who won but Sela was given the blue ribbon.

My favorite race of the season! They tied!
Today’s 440 finish where Sela barely eeked out a win.

Ball Throw….yeah, it’s an actual event.

Most of the 6th grade girls want to do long jump for their field event so they rotate each week. When not doing long jump, Sela does ball throw. Not her favorite but one week she did get a ribbon which was funny. It’s just not a very exciting event but good job Sela!
