Kait and Sam participated in the school athletics carnival. It was a track meet with the kids competing by age group in track and field events. What an exciting day. It was cold(about 58 degreesF) and windy, but the kids had a really fun time. They did the 200m and 100m run, the high jump, long jump, discus and shot put. There was a short bus ride across town to use the Beaton Park facility. Without any practice or specific instruction the kids just began competing.
Sam is doing the long jump. I am not sure of his distance or place on this one. We will have to wait until Friday's assembly to find out for sure. But he did quite well.
Kait is running in the 200 meter dash. She was so happy at the end of the day. She kept repeating, "I broke my losing streak!!! I got 2nd in the discus!!!

Sam's high jump. It took him a few tries to get better form. A few times the bar moved but it didn't fall.
He kept going round after round. He finally got out at 1meter and 10 cm. That gave him 2nd place! He also thinks he got 1st in the shot put, 4th in the 200 and 100 run. I will let you know the official score on Friday after the assembly.
