Track

This year our two oldest participated in the town youth track club, "Sterling Striders." They had three laid back practices a week and something else we've never done... little kids Track Meet. :) We had never participated or even attended an entire youth Track Meet. It was (chaotically) fun. The weather could have cooperated a bit more (both of the meet days were cold, cloudy and even rainy). But they just cuddledand smiled and did their best. (Aly keeping warm with a couple of her friends)

Caleb and Aly each did two field events for the first meet (something we changed for the next track meet). This year was a learning year. :) Caleb did a great job on his softball throw - over 90 feet. He scratched his long jump twice but still managed to squeeze out a second place medal. Aly did the long jump and softball throw too. She sure improved by her last jump at the second track meet.

Although Caleb did really well in the field events, he really just wanted to run. The second meet he ran, ran, ran. :) He was in the 100m, 200m, 400m and a medley relay.
Breaking the ribbon (first in his heat)! IN-tense!! :)
First leg in his relay. His sis is right there cheering him on. :) GO Caleb!
