Track Meet 4

Once again we were blessed with great weather; yesterday's track meet was a bit cool at times, but it didn't rain and was often sunny.  Annika ran a PR in the 800m by a tenth of a second and PR in the long jump by 11 inches.  Brigitta ran a PR in the 100m and a season record in the long jump.  She has a cold and had trouble getting her head in the game in the high jump; she topped out at 4'.

Meet results are here.  Here's a 400 MB HD video of the girl's 6th, 7th & 8th grade high jump.

"I LOVE running!"

"I HATE running!"

This 5th grade St. Francis girl has nearly perfect form and timing; she cleared 4' 4" and is ranked number one in the nation on athletic.net.

Brigitta managed a 4' 2" high jump.  Annika ran her best 100m and running long jump, but had a bad cramp in the 800. 

IHM/Saint Josephs fourth grader Kya Epps ran a spectacular 14.84 100m and 31.04 200m which ranks her number one in the nation in both events for 4th grade girls!  Meet results can be found here.

Kya has already come to a stop and is turning around before the competition reaches the finish line in the 100m.

Look at the 4 second lead (below) in the 200m.

Brigitta cleared 4' 4"!  That was her season goal; I think she has the ability to jump over 4' 6", maybe even 4' 8".  I was right there, but I missed it.  I've spread myself pretty thin trying to be a father of three, long jump coach to over a dozen, standing long jump coach to a couple dozen and photographer to 80.  I did see her warm up jumps and did see and shoot her attempts at 4' 6".  Her long jump wasn't so great, but she won her heat in the 100m. 

Annika set a goal of shaving 10 seconds off of her 800m time, and she did exactly that.  The poor thing struggled with an ill fitting uniform and everyone struggled with the high winds.  Most kids' times suffered from the wind. 

Svea has been trying to recover from pretty serious shin splints.  I had to talk her out of attending practice Thursday and Friday, but she insisted on running the IHM 5K yesterday.  Her performance suffered today; I'm hoping a week off over Easter break will give her a chance to recover.

Results will be posted here.

Sunday was IHM's first track meet of the season.  Brigitta, Annika and Svea are all running track this year.  In the first meet Svea ran the 100m, 200m and jumped in the standing long jump.  Brigitta ran the 100m, 4X200m, high jump and long jump.  Annika ran the 800m and jumped in both the standing and running long jumps.  The sisters were very supportive of each other an d seemed to have fun.  The weather was very nice; we all got a bit of sunburn.  Results for this meet can be found on athletic.net
