Track and Field

 

Wyatt, Jonah and Rockwell are doing track this Spring.  Wyatt has had to miss a lot because of soccer and break dance.  Last week was the first track meet, Wyatt had break dancing so he couldn't go.  It has been a long time since we have been to a track meet.  I forgot how chaotic they are. 

Jonah's first event was the 4X100.  He did it with, Jett, Kale and Lincoln.  They did awesome.  Jonah was the second runner and he started out behind everyone, you can see him passing up the other runners in this picture.  They need to work on their hand offs, but they are all so fast. 

The next event Jonah did was the 100 Meter.  I knew he was fast, but it was crazy how fast he ran! 

We zoomed in on a picture of him running and Jonah and I thought it was hilarious.  He said it looks like there is an old man filter on him.  You can see how fast he is going by the wind going through his face.

Jonah also did the high jump.  This event takes forever!  They move the bar up an inch or two at a time and they get three tries each time.  Jonah started out at the beginning of the track meet.  You can see how far above the bar he is.  It took a while before it was a challenge for him.

We were there until the very end for this event.  It came down to Jonah and one other boy.

Jonah took second place by clearing 4ft 6 inches. 

Monday was the second track meet.  Wyatt was excited that he could go this time.  He started out by doing the javelin and the high jump. 

Track meets are so long, so it's great to have a friend there with you!

Wyatt also did the long jump.

He got three tries and they take the farthest one.  He did great!

Wyatt decided to do the 100 Meter for his last event.  He did it in 17.71.  He was happy with that and is excited to try and beat his time.

Jonah did the same events as last time, but added in a 4X400 at the end.  He is very proud of those big calf muscles!  They still haven't posted the results from the Heber track meet, but they have posted the results from this week.  Jonah's 4X100 took first place at 54.30 seconds, the second place ran it in 58.93.  It looks like Jonah took 3rd in the 100 M with a time of 12.97.  

It came down to three boys this time. Jonah cleared 4 ft 6 inches again for 3rd place. 

We were at the track meet for four hours.  Caitlyn watched Tessa, Damon and Hallee at our house while we were there.  Tiff brought Wyatt home when she went to pick up her kids so Wyatt didn't have to stay the whole time.  After Jonah finished the high jump, he did the 4X400, which is the last event.  We were all tired and ready to go home by that point!
