Track season was so much fun. Megan got to participate as a 3rd grader (shhh!). Her first meet was at Loyola Academy on April 21. The kids are able to choose their own events. She picked the long jump (she jumped 6' 3"), the 4x100 relay and the 800. Here are some relay pics (relays are the most fun):





And - my favorite event - the 800. She ran a speedy 3:34.



Their second meet was 6 days later on April 27th at St. Ignatius High School. We were able to grab a quick team photo:



She ran in the 4x100 relay again (she likes the glory of the anchor leg):



And, of course, here famous 800:



That photo was the start. Here is the final stretch (she ran a 3:37 on this day):



She had a good day at the long jump. She was able to go 8' 0" for a 7th place overall finish (earned her a ribbon):



Here's another jump:



The had a meet at Loyola the very next day, April 28 (oh to be young and have that much energy!). Megan ran the anchor leg of the 4x100 again:



And, long jump (6' 5"):



She ran the 800 in 3:31 for an 11th place finish:



And, she added in the 4x400 (it's tough to pass up a relay opportunity):



And one parting shot of the girls' JV team bonding at the end of the meet:
