Jr. High Track

We are in the middle of Jr. High Track right now.  Rhett is doing the shot put, 100 dash, and 4X1 relay for the C group.  Here he is doing the shot put.

 

 Every track meet he has gotten his personal best so that is great!

 Rhett finishing his 100.

 My boys - so dang cute!

 Dustin doing the shot put.  He is barely in the B group and wants to be in the C group because they throw a 2 lb lighter ball and from what he has seen and what he has thrown the 6 pound ball he could have taken 1st or 2nd in every meet. He has been trying to drop the 6 pounds he needs to to be in the C class.  I don't want him trying to loose weight but he is doing it anyway.  In a couple of days is their qualifiers meet and if he has lost the 2 or 3 more pounds by then that he needs to he is out of luck.  When he was playing football then even worse with basketball he started having growing knee problems.  I told him he needed to kind of take it easy for track.  One day I went to practice and he was doing really good running but at the end and the next few days he could barely walk.  He thinks he might have done something else to it.  So he has just been doing the shot put.  They have enjoyed the social part of it.  Next year Tylinn will be able to do it - crazy!  Track is a fun sport though - they don't have practice on Fridays and they are out at 4:15 so it's a pretty laid back sport.
