7th Grade Track 2011

Isaac had a track meet on Tuesday.  It was cold, but it did not rain so we were happy. I caught up with Isaac and his best friend, Jake, to take a few pictures before they had to run the 200 yard....dash?  race?  I don't know what they call it actually.  Anyway, here are the two most incredible...tough/cool...boys in seventh grade.

Is he making fun of me???  ;-)

Finally!  That's what I was looking for.  I love these two boys.

And here is Alyssa with her friend Katie trying to keep warm.  Aren't they sweet?

Now, middle school track has a tendency to be a bit unorganized at times.  As long as everyone makes it to the race on time, it works out in the end. 

On Your Mark.
Get Set...

Go!

Look at him go!!!!

Isaac has always loved running. 

I used my super speed to get to the other side of the track so I could get this photo.  Just kidding.  Thank you for the great shot Miss Carol!

Now it is time for the discus.  Isaac loves throwing this thing.  It is very important to exit the throwing area the proper way.  Isaac has scratched a few times for leaving the box in the wrong place.  I have a feeling Grandpa Boiten might understand completely the frustration of making that silly mistake. 

He has an average toss of a little over 60 feet.  I think that awesome!  But as his mother it is my right to be easily impressed by anything the kids do.  :-)

And finally it is time for the high jump.  He sure will not win any awards for his form just yet, but for now, he sure loves this event.  If there is one thing Isaac loves even more than running, it is falling down.  :-)  I wish I had a video camera to record his technique.  It is amazing he makes it over the bar at all, but not only does he do it his way, he is happy with the WAY he gets the job done.
