No running for me today but an AWESOME running day!!! It was the USATF Utah State Championship Meet at UVU. :) Three of my kiddoes ran in this meet: Sophia, Oliver "Sherm", and Livvy. Livvy runs just for the fun of it. Sophia and Sherm like to compete, and compete they did!!! WOW!!!!! I have two STATE CHAMPS!!! Sophia (11): 1500 meters, 6:00.36!!! THE NEW STATE CHAMP!!!!! (I swear I saw her run in at 5:58.xx ... but the official results said otherwise.) :) 400 meters, 1:15.xx, 6th place. 800 meters, 2:56.04, 2nd place!!!! Oliver "Sherm" (10): 100 meters, 14.16!!!!! THE NEW STATE CHAMP!!!!! 200 meters, 29.82, 2nd place!!!!! (1st place was 29.65) These are personal bests for Sherm who used the starting blocks for the first time!!!! WOW!!!!! Livvy also had a GREAT time. She placed in the top 10 in the 100 meters and was pretty excited about that. :) On a side note: These three also competed in the local Hershey's meet this past Thursday. Oliver took 1st in all three of his events (100 m, 200 m, and softball throw); Sophia took 1st in her two events (800 m, 400 m ... they don't let her age compete in the mile); and we think Livvy may have taken 2nd in one of her races but haven't gotten the official results yet. So hopefully they will all be moving on to regionals. :) |
