Off and Running

4.1.10 ~ High school track has begun! Today was the 2nd
meet of the season, at Sutherland. It was in the 70's and
overall a nice day for a track meet, which is rare!


The 4x8 relay team: Garrett, Zach, Wade
and Collin.

Garrett is 'the finisher'!

They ended up with 2nd place! Garrett
really pushed it and had a good run.

Garrett's teammates tell him 'good job'.

Garrett competed in the 100 m relay

also. He was 3rd in his heat and made

it to the finals which he also placed 3rd

in with the same time of 11.7

Garrett also competed in the 300 hurdles, an event he does

not like! This is the first year he's done hurdles and he's doing

fairly well at them, they are just not the event he would like

to be in. He, and teammate/friend Jordan were neck and neck

the entire race. Garrett came in 3rd and Jordan 4th.

This past Saturday was Garrett's first meet of the season

in Hershey. It was a miserable cold and windy day! He

competed in the 100 m dash, the 4x1 relay, the 400 and

the 300 hurdles. He earned a medal with a 4th place in the

400. Competion was tough as there were lots of teams and

several heats of each event, and the wind was no help. We

have several meets ahead of us, both high school and junior

high so we're 'off and running' with a busy track season!
