Time Trial


Some real track


Jodie has a good day



A solid pack of girls.



Lilly wins with somewhere around 3:45.



Sam takes the boys race.



Felt gets Taylor at the line.
Overall a good day of racing. Sorry I didn't get more photos. Time trial is where you learn lots of things about now a track meet is run. You get to go through the warm up rountine. Set your blocks. Figure out that your starting gun isn't even shooting blanks. Stuff like that.
Thanks to all the parents who helped with the work day. Lots of things got accomplished. I think the popcorn machine got clean, the hurdles don't have any loose bolts, the long jump pits are soft and sandy, the pole vault pad is set and we are clean and ready for a new season. Thanks parents and coaches.

Meet the Team Dinner Next Thursday


Last year's desert table
The Meet the Team Dinner is next Thursday Night after practice. You will be receiving information via E-mail and through your child about what to bring. It's always a great time. Last years desert table was incredible. I thought I was on a cruise ship. See you there.

Fractured Quote of the Week



Ticking away the moments
that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste

the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground

in your home town.
Waiting for someone
or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine

staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long
and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find
ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run

to catch up with the sun
but it's sinking
Racing around to come up

behind you again.
