Track Season...

Track this year was pretty much as expected... cold and shivering or hot and sun burnt!

(ignore the picture of the frozen teenager who would not put on warm clothing or use one of the 3 blankets I brought)..grr (insert eye-roll).

We pushed for Walker to try another event this year and reluctantly he choose Long Jump... there is no coaching at this area or really at any area of middle school track so my frustrations with he and the track person running the long jump were irritating at times, but putting that aside he ended up being the best 7th grader long jumper at his school.

Discus is by far his favorite event and this year he mastered the spin before the release!

Shot put for 7th graders this year included a heavier shot put... it was 8 pounds instead of last year's 6 pound.

He qualified for the city district meet in all of his events and ended up placing 5th in Discus and 5th in Long Jump for all 4 middle school 7th graders.
