citywide track meet

Today was the citywide elementary track meet for 4th & 5th graders. Last year was rained out, so this year I was happy that Evan got to participate! His first event was the 200 meter dash. Evan is in the middle in the black & white shirt...

pulling ahead...
it was down to these two guys...
..and the other kid won by .001. It was a great race though! The funny thing was that many of Ev's teammates ran this race (on other legs) and they all came in second, just one hundreds of a second apart. Kismet!
Second event was the 55 meter hurdles...

Ev came in third, after one of his old football teammates!
After seeing how well he did, Evan might want to try out for track now, which is a good thing! The kid is fast, and track would help his endurance for soccer.

Wow, look at him go! He was really putting his all into it, wasn't he?

A couple weeks ago, my younger girl had to run the mile for P.E. Let me tell you, that child barely put forth the effort required and was clearly there under duress.
