Alex just finished her 7th grade track season and she

loved it!  She liked running the 400 best.  She was 1 of

only 14 girls total 7th & 8th that got invited to the state

meet.  She ran 3 relays there and got a 4th in the 800 sprint

medley, a 6th in the 4x100 and a 6th in the 4x400.  This 

was awesome because they weren't expected to place

at all the highest they were seeded in any race was 15th

so it was a good day.  LONG for mom & dad but good!

This video is not at State I haven't downloaded those yet

but this is one of her more exciting races of the season.

This was the 4x400 relay and she ran the last leg.  It started 

to rain so they combined the girls and boys.  So we won't worry 

about them or the boy in the purple that passes her along the

way.  We are the green team and the only girl team in front 

of us is the yellow team.  The video starts just before Alex gets

the handoff.  Notice how far behind she gets before she kicks

it in to full gear.  We didn't beat the boys but we won the race!

YEAH!  GO ALEX GO!
