Finally after being cancelled and rescheduled twice for bad weather, our elementary classes had their day on the field. Track and Field Day is a big deal in our town. Not something I was accustomed to growing up. Our school spent the afternoon doing our events, went back to class, then went home. Here all the parents, grands, aunts, uncles come filling the field and bleachers. I would not have survived it if we had done the same…all those people watching! Yikes.
Anyway, Clara’s Events:
Frisbee Throw – 1st Place
Softball Throw – 4th Place
50 Yard Run – 1st Place
100 Yard Run – 2nd Place
Warming up for the Softball Throw.
Still warming up.
And AWESOME! For her second throw she even went with the left hand instead of her right! Yes!
First place for the 50 though, there were only 2 runners. Still, look at her go!
For the 100 she lost a shoe but kept running. I wouldn’t have thought she’d have finished that one. I’m very proud of her.
Lily’s Events:
50 Yard Run – 4th Place
100 Yard Run – 4th Place
Frisbee Throw – 1st Place
Sack Race – 3rd Place
Lily stayed right with the pack. I wonder how much of that is because she’d be embarrassed to break away from the other girls. She’s such a shy and modest one you know.
Good job girls!
Looks like some great weather (finally) for the track and field day. Good job, Clara and Lily!
Thanks Carrie! It was better, in the 50s with 30 mph winds but much better than it has been! 🙂
