The boys are trying out tracks and fields for this last part of the year. The coach this year let the kids trying out many different T&F events which is a great experience, however our boys did not care to try too much.  Connor chose shotput from the get-go and later Logan followed his lead since shotput seemed to have less pressure.  We wanted the boys to try another event but we could not change their minds.  The first meet was on a Sat, so Stuart and I both went with them.  Connor somehow got signed up for 4X100 as well as shotput.  When it was time for that race, we watched Connor closely; he was assigned to the last leg so it was even more exciting.  Somehow though the race finished and we still did not see Connor.  Later we found out that his team did not get assigned to a lane which we did not understand how, so all four of the teammates just waited and did not get to race.  This was very upsetting for everyone!  Then we went to watch the boys do shotputs.  They both were very conservative out there and did not push themselves very much.  Overall this was not a good meet for the boys.

    The 2nd meet was last Wednesday.  Connor did not want to run 4X100 this time, so he and Logan both did shotput only.  I watched the other Broncos doing relays and other track events; and they all did well.  Then it was time for shotputs; this time the boys did put in more effort.  Connor ended up #3 of the 6th graders, so he was very happy with it.

    The 3rd meet is tomorrow, but unfortunately both Stuart and I have a busy Monday and hard to coordinate the transportation; the boys were happy to skip out this time.  They will have one more meet next week.
