Finally a 1st place

Yes it is was only Zane's 2nd official track meet, but he was hell bent on getting a 1st place ribbon. It finally happened and he was stoked! But he didn't do it alone...the 1st place was for their 4x100 relay race. All 4 kiddos did great and they've determined that they will all 4 be a team for the rest of the meets! Cute!

His other ribbons were for:

Long Jump - 2nd place (jumped over 8ft)

100 meter - 4th place

50 meter - 2nd place

Oh and it was crazy hot...over 90 degrees and zero shade!

Track Club - 1st Meet

Zane's first track meet was tonight at Renton Memorial Stadium!  He did so good!  We had no idea what we were doing at first, it took us awhile to find our groove on the way things are run (no pun intended, haha) at these events, but I think we figured it out!  Each kid can choose any 3 events they want to do and they can do different events at each meet.  Zane changed his mind on which events he wanted to compete in at least 10 times in the last week!  I noticed today he was changing his mind again based on what a friend of his was choosing - I kindly stepped in and had to remind him to do what HE wanted to do and not what his friend wanted to do; oddly enough, he changed his mind again - but this time back to what he originally decided on today!

He did great!  He learned a lot!  He is already excited for the next meet!

Long Jump - 2nd place
50 Meter Dash - 4th place
400 Meter Dash - 3rd place

This boy has hops that's all I can say! And I love his facial expression here!

Sizing up the competition, haha!

Ready for the 400 meter; he was so nervous.

Ta-da!

Track Club

Zane joined the Snoqualmie Track Club for his summer "sport" and as you can probably guess is loving it.  This kid has no boundaries when it comes to sports...he tries it, he likes it.  He has a lot of interest in long jump and per his coach looks like "the one to beat"; we'll see.  He also is liking all of the running...long and short distance.  Tonight he ran the 800 and came in 2nd and was in 1st the entire time until he pulled a muscle in his leg; poor kid was in so much pain.  But he finished and did great!  I really hope that leg heals up before his meet on Thursday!

Love this shot!

Can't wait to see where this kid goes!
