Track

As soon as basketball was over at the middle school, track began. At first, Amanda wasn't going to do track, but decided to join all her friends and do it. At her first meet, she ran the 200 meter. We were all excited. We sat out in the freezing cold wrapped in blankets waiting for her race. We watched her standing out there in her tiny thin uniform freezing and jumping up and down trying to stay warm. It was finally time for her race, but, unfortunately, they started the girls on the wrong markers, which made the girls to staggered. It was a big bummer to all of us. We were very proud of her though because she gave it her all the entire race even though she knew she had no chance of placing. Good effort babe!


The rest of the season (which was only two meets), Amanda did the high jump. She had great form, but had a hard time getting the height. Track came and went really fast, but she seemed to enjoy it and plans on doing it again next year.
