Well Kayla finally had her track meet yesterday. This time everyone showed up. For her first event, the mile, the coaches decided to save time and had the boys and girls run together. There were a lot of kids on that track. Kayla came in 3rd for the girls and 8th over all. She beat her best meet time by 2 seconds. In the 800m there were about 20 girls. Kayla had only run this race once before, but yesterday she beat her 1st time by 8 seconds. She was 5th over all. At one point during the race she got boxed in and couldn't get around the bigger girls. She's a natural runner and with a little training she could be really good at it.
Anna had a softball game at the same time as Kayla's track meet so Ryan had to go to that...uh...I mean got to go to that. I was really glad it was his turn because going to those games is painful. I was a softball player and loved it, but...I don't know what to say....it's just bad. One game it was like watching the Bad News Bears and the Worse News Bears. Anna's team is in 3rd place. There are 2 teams a lot better than them and 2 teams a lot worse. Yesterday they played an "a lot worse team" and won 27-0! They won't call the mercy rule (10 run rule) until the 4th inning so needless to say it was a long game. Anna got two hits, her 1st hits of the season, and I missed it. Bummer! Anna really hates playing softball. It moves way too slow and even though she does well...I don't see her getting a scholarship out of this game.
Will post pics this weekend.
