New Day, New Race!

The smile of a winner!!
Big Sis, is always rooting for Emi









Check out this link I have provided for you. Fabulous recap. Bookmark the site, I can't wait to see what's next.
These are better pictures of Emily jumping the hurdles. She was flying today. Her race was the 100 meter hurdles. You will see her dressed in blue, running in lane 5. Her time was 20.91 sec. She won her heat. She placed #9 out of probably 38-40 girls. Her time was better than last week, last week it was 21. something. I don't remember the tenths. The one thing I noticed today was, how tall she looked. But her jump was higher for sure. It was miserable weather, the wind blowing blowing. Not a good day for racing, especially if you have to run against it. I took a video of her running the 400 relay. I am not going to post it. Takes to long to load the show. Her team placed 3rd in that event. She was also scheduled to run the 200 yard dash, but it's the last event, and I decided not to stay for it. I was a frozen Popsicle. It is so much fun to watch all my grand kids do their favorite things. I am so excited for baseball to start. Stay tuned for more videos of my very talented kids. Prejudice................... gnaw just speaking the facts.

Hurdle Jumper






I was checking my camera, and wa-la, here is a video of Emily jumping the hurdles on her birthday. You can hear the gun go off at the beginning of the race. Memory lapse I guess. I hope you can see her towards the end of the video. I missed her crossing the finish line, she was third. I am going to try for better next time, and get the whole dang race. The other picture is of her lined up to run the relay. She was the first of four girls to run the race. She also runs the 100 meter race (I think that's it) hopefully, I will be corrected if I am wrong.
