Nothing for me but a whole lotta something for Smo and Sherm!! Today was the USATF Junior State Championship in Provo, Utah. Both Smo and Sherm raced, and both Smo and Sherm placed. In fact, they both took 1st in both of their races. The stars were aligned in there favor. Sherm's (12) results: 100 meters: 14.23 s, 1st place. * This race was a shocker since this is actually one of Sherm's slowest times. He fiddled around with the blocks for a bit and didn't feel like they were sticking right. He got frustrated and pushed them back and decided to run without them. His start was crazy slow. Somehow he pulled it out in the end though by .21 seconds. 200 meters: 28.86 s, 1st place. * This was closer to Sherm's speed, but he still doesn't have it to where it was last year when he trained. In fact, it wasn't until this past week that Sherm decided to run track again. Basketball had ended and he was laying around the house FAR too much. So with a little encouragement he decided to give track another go. :-) Sophia's (13) results: 800 meters: 2:35.7, 1st place. * Roughly two seconds from her best time. The 2nd place girl came in at 2:41.48 and so she didn't have anyone to challenge her for the spot. Perhaps that would have gotten her another couple of seconds. But still a fantastic effort and spectacular race. 1500 meters: 5:18.78, 1st place. * HUGE PR for Smo on this race. Her previous best was last week at a 5:26.xx. She looked CRAZY strong. 2nd place ame in at 5:32.24, so once again not sure if she really got into that deep place where you pull everything out. No worries though, I'm sure that will happen in a few weeks at Region (Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming). Great day!!!!! |
