Tonight was a first-ever track meet for Owen and Oliver. They've been working hard at track practice and were totally excited for this meet. I couldn't believe how well they did!
I won't bore you with their times and distances but they both ran the 50 yard dash, 200 meter, 400 meter, 800 meter and mile races. They missed out on the 100 yard dash because they were busy at the softball throw and long jump.
I will say that both the boys blew away the competition in their separate heats for the 400 meter. They were phenomenal!
They tied each other in the mile coming in at 9 minutes 25 seconds. (I ran a 15-minute mile one time in high school and threw up. Weenie!)
In the long jump, Owen averaged 6 feet over three jumps. Oliver was consistent with his three jumps at a whopping 9 feet! The kid is a freaking grasshopper!
Their scores get written down on their backs so we can compare their numbers meet to meet.

This is so neat! I wish we had track and field here. Although, Nick just ran in a kids half mile race on July 4th and looked like he was about to barf at the end.
Your guys are really built for speed...and jumping!
