There was perfect weather (cool breeze and warm sun) for the small track meet we had in Fallon yesterday. It was the first meet of the season. Alex got a little sun burnt. We'll have to remember the sunscreen from now on.
There were only 3 schools participating yesterday: Churchill County, Dayton, and Fernley high schools. I swear I was told that the meet in Fallon in 2 weeks will have 27 schools there. I can't even imagine. This one went about 3 1/2 hours and then we had an opening day barbecue.
Alex ran 2 relays (4 x 100 and 4 x 400 meters) and 2 sprints (the 100 meter and the 200 meter). It was so much fun to watch him run.
Alex, at 13.44 seconds, was only 1.71 seconds behind the winner of the 100 meter race, but that still made him 19th out of 23. CCHS placed 1st and 3rd in that race.
Alex, at 28.28 seconds, was 4.54 seconds behind that leader of the 200 meter race. That made him 20th out of 26. CCHS took 2nd place there.
Of the 4 teams running the 4 x 400 relay, Alex's team placed 3rd.
Well done, Alex!
Overall, the boys' team earned 2nd place and the girls' team placed first. Here's a link to all the results: http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/MeetResults.aspx?Meet=294118#2488

Jacob had a game night and Andrew posted about it on his blog. I stole the following 2 photos. Andrew points out that at least one member of each family was represented.
