The 6 pound ball that I throw :)

My 100 meter hurdles! :)

Go Track! Whoooooooo!

Track has been so FUN!! I started track 2 weeks ago! I thought track would be a good thing for me to do because it could help me learn lessons and to start running again! On the first day of track I thought I wasn't going to make it to the eighth grade because it was so tiring!! At after school practice, I saw April Beck doing these hurdles. So I went over to see how she was jumping these hurdles. I watched for a sec and tried the hurdles. I got over the first hurdle! I thought I was a pro but I am not so...........after a few days I was getting the hang of jumping these hurdles. Then my coach, Erica Ingersoll, went and told my other coach, Natalie Lewis, that they have two hurdlers, April Beck and ME!! So after that I was I love with track! I started to go to track everyday and practicing. Then I sighned up for the shot put and the hundred meter. On Tuesday, April 7th was our first track meet! We were going against American Falls, Bear Lake and Snake River. My first race to do was my hurdles. And the scary thing was that April Beck and I were the shortest girls doing the hurdles. The other girls were 6ft and I am 5ft4" and April is 5ft! So when the gun went off I raced my hardest to the hurdles and April and I were in the lead. She was first and I was in second place! So I was at the tenth hurdle and made it over then I stopped after the tenth hurdle because I thought you stopped there and you were finished! Nope!I still had ten meters to run to the finish line! So........................I got last. Whoops! :) Then I had to run over to the shot put throw! I was really good at throwing and then I fell forward and got a scratch and so I got 2 more tries! I throw it as far as I could and got 25.1ft and so I got 3rd place out of all the seventh graders! Then I ran the 100 meters and got 4th in that!! Then they asked me to run the 4 by 200 race and the melody relay! :) It was an awsome day and I had alot of fun with all my friends on the track team!! :) P.S (Sorry if this dosent make sense! )
