Track

In Andrew's second season of track, he did a great job!

He added a new event - the 400. Here they are after the first turn - Andrew's in the first lane so he starts off furthest back.

 

It's a little slower than the 200. Here they are at the half way point on the back stretch. He's now moved to the middle of the 3.

 

 They're coming around the last turn here. He's making his move.

Here they come on the final stretch. It's pretty close, but Andrew has a slight lead.

It's now a 2 man race to the end.

And it's hard to tell on this photo, but Andrew pulled it out at the end for a victory!

This is a different race, but I got some video. He finished second here at the first heat of Invitationals. He ended up finishing 3rd in the final heat with a personal best of 59.95. So he was the 3rd fastest 8th grade boy in the region. Pretty good!

He also did the long jump. I was a parent volunteer for this meet. Got to make sure there's no foot faults!

I believe I can fly...

At least for 14'6" - his pb for the year.

And here he is at the 200.

Andrew puts his all into running. You can see it on his face!

Speed!

This is video of the first heat at Invitationals where he won. In the final heat, he got 4th place - again, pretty good for all the 8th grade boys in the region! His pb was 25.01.
