Track Meet 2018

A few weeks ago, the duo had try outs for the track team at their school. Lauren qualified for the relay, the 200 and the 800. Gracie was a second or two behind Lauren and was slated for first alternate. They both trained over spring break, and Lauren had self-imposed "two-a-days" beginning on Monday. When she asked to have three-a-days on Tuesday, we drew the line. She is small but mighty, and she is very determined.  

Lauren had some good finishes, earning second in the 200, second in the 800 and helping her team with second in the relay. There were so many solid finishes from the entire team, and the girls ended up winning second in their division, while the boys earned third. Watching them run is so much fun because they genuinely love it, and they have worked so hard.

"MOVE!!! You're in my LANE!!!"

Lauren was a little angry that the lane violation cost her a couple of seconds during her leg of the race. However, this is how it goes sometimes, and mistakes happen. 

"The pass"

Lauren grabs second place

Gracie led their friends in several cheers throughout the day. This is such a sweet group of girls! 

#1 Cheer Squad/alternates EVER

This was a great way for the girls to close out their track experience at their elementary school, and we are going to miss these good times.
