Track times three

It's been a crazy spring already so why not throw in some track meets!!?!!  I've got the three older boys in track at two different schools this year.  I love seeing how they learn and improve through the season.  Preston is doing one event: the softball throw.  That kid can throw!  He's placed first at two meets already!!  The thing about track is it's so hard to get good pictures!  I video a lot of their events though.  It's just so fast.  Kolby is doing a lot of events.  The 200, 200 hurdles, 4x4 relay and the triple jump.  Logan is doing the shot put and the discus.  I really need to get some pictures of them!!

I mostly have pictures of Kolby:

Track meets are long, cold, sunny, rainy, windy and most of the time all of the above.  It looks like I am going on a long trip when I arrive at a meet.  Winter coat, hat, large tote bag full of food/drinks and books/magazines, camera, umbrella, heavy wool blanket and a camping chair.  It's quite the look!!  Most of the time I just go by myself.  They last 2 1/2 or 3 hours and it would be hard for the younger kids to get through them.  Here's a good video of Kolby doing the triple jump.  He does really good, it takes a lot of coordination to do them!

Preston's last meet is Wednesday and Logan and Kolby's last meet is Thursday.  Then we'll see if they make it to city or district meets.  Woo hoo!!  Beth
