Every Wednesday in July, there is a track meet here in Hillsboro for anyone who wants to come. We didn't know about it until last summer right before the very last meet. The kids had a blast, so we were excited to go this year. Last Wednesday we headed off to the meet. They have 5 different field events at different times for each age group and a bunch of track events, also run by age. It is a little crazy being there by myself with 3 kids trying to race around and catch as many events as we could. But they had SO much fun!
A little pre-meet warm-up
Sadie's first event...long jump!The kids had never tried hurdles before and they all were really excited to give it a try. Drew's age (3 and under) went first on the 50M hurdles.
I know it's blurry, but I think this is the cutest pic ever of Drew's little 3 year old body jumping over hurdles! :)
He got 2nd place!
Zack was next. He did really well for his first time having to run and jump over things at the same time!
They raised the hurdles nice and high for Sadie's age group. She did great and loved it also!
Zack doing the softball throw (in place of the javelin)
And Drew. This was right up his alley, he loves to throw balls!
Long jump is so hard! It must take a lot of training to get the technique down...
Sadie doing the turbo-jav (kid friendly javelin, kind of soft, like NERF)
Getting ready for the 50M dash. Drew got 1st place!
Zack ran so fast, he got 2nd place in the 50M dash!
Sadie running the 100M. I think she got 4th place!
