Track Time

Cameron surprised me earlier this spring by saying she wanted to run track at school. I knew that she had gone running a few times with Bryan, but didn't realize she wanted to try her hand at athletics. Apparently when she ran in PE class the coach asked her why she wasn't in athletics! Her coach encouraged her to try out for track team.

So now she has practice after school until 5:30 Monday through Thursday afternoons, and 7 AM practice on Friday!
Track meets are held on Wednesdays from 5 to 9 PM at one of the ISD high schools.

The first track meet she ran a 4 x 800, meaning that she was one of four girls running 800 m in a relay. She ran second. The event was the second to last of the night. Douglas and I sat in the bleachers for three hours waiting for her to run! She finally ran at 8 PM!

The second track meet was canceled for conflict of schedule, and the next week was spring break.
This Wednesday she ran the first event, a master mile. She was a little disappointed with her 10 minute mile time, but it was a beautiful afternoon and we went home early.
