State track was COLD! Thursday was rather nice with sunshine and a light breeze. We could wear shorts and be comfortable. Susie jumped 5'0". I swear she made it over 5'2", she didn't know where she hit the bar when it fell down. I think that little breeze kicked up and the wind knocked it over but it was close. She got second place. Amanda ran the 2 mile and did a beautiful job. She is the new 2A state champion.
Friday was a great day to wear long pants. It was very nice to see Gwen there on Friday along with Margaret and Joyce. Robyn Savage brought Jacob to me on Friday too. Lots of stuff happened on Friday. We watched Susie and Amanda run the 800. Susie got second and Amanda got fourth.
Overall the girls took the State Championship by a huge margin. The boys took second. On Saturday, Mark ran well in his 4 X 400. He got the baton and ran like the wind to overtake one kid and really come on strong at the end to give Ben Long a good enough lead for third place.
Lucas and Shanae came up from Laramie on Saturday. I felt bad for them because they didn't know what the weather was like. NASTY! The wind was strong from the east at about 45 miles per hour with rain. We had the umbrellas to the side of us to protect us from the wind and the rain. It was good that we had the big levi blanket with us too. We had some extra coats for them and we fed them and got them hot chocolate so they could stay warm. It was really nice to visit with them. Joyce got some good pictures and like the silly person that I am I forgot my camera. I will put Mark's 4 X 400 video up on you tube and will post some of the track pictures as soon as I get them from Joyce. (Thanks, Joyce) I know she is busy right not because I just got pictures of Betsy's babies from the Powell Hospital.
