Today I got to enjoy some sunshine, and a great track meet! All the 6th graders in the district meet at Bonneville High School for a one time track event. It's so fun and exciting for the kids! I saw some great talent, and some great school spirit from the Falls Valley crowd.
Annie, Neesha, Bailey, Marlee, Emily, and Hannah
Bailey ran the mile, the 4X100m relay, and the 75m speed dash. She got 3rd in the mile, which she was very disappointed in. I think she did awesome and should be proud of herself! I wish she wouldn't put so much pressure on herself. She wasn't so much disappointed in the place, as much as her time. She had been running a lot faster when she practiced for it. The race started out really fast, and I think it was tough on her mentally. She's a hard working, determined little thing, so she has a great running future ahead of her.

Finishing the mile
Their 4X100m relay team did great. We took them to the track the day before to work on their hand offs. They all did them really good!
Getting ready to start the relay.
The relay team: Marlee, Brooklyn, McKenzie, Bailey.
She also ran the 75m dash. This one stressed her out big time! She was having some serious anxiety issues before it started. It was the fastest boy and girl from each school. She got 4th, which I think is great (especially with her jello legs after the mile). She was just glad when that one was over. I guess she doesn't want to be a sprinter :)!

Way to go Bailey!
