After many, many, many cancellations - we FINALLY had an outdoor track meet!
It was even somewhat warm outside! However, notice all the snow in the background of photos! We still have a crazy amount of snow for April 25!
Sierra started this track season running distance events.
Until the coaches noticed her long legs. . . and then they talked her into trying hurdles.
For a while, she was considering doing both - running some distance events AND hurdles. That quickly became too hard. After a distance workout, she was just too tried to run hurdles well. So, for this season, she has chosen to be a full time hurdler.
It was fun to watch her!
Above, she is warming up.
This was the first hurdle I saw her jump. I was quite impressed!
Soon she was on the line to run the 200 hurdles.
(notice the snowbanks!)
She crossed the line in 5th place - but there were 2 disqualifications, so she officially placed third!
She was and is thrilled!
Because her coaches required her to run at least 3 events, she ran the open 400.
Berra Girl can be intense!
I love the determination on her face in this shot.
Her final event was the 110 hurdles.
I have never paid quite so much attention to the 110 hurdles.
There is a lot that happens during that race! I am most certainly not coordinated enough to attempt it!
She did a great job - finishing 8th.
It is going to be an intense track season! There were many meets canceled, so now they are scheduling many meets close together. We have a meet Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday (between Jamison and Sierra!) Good thing I LOVE track! I am looking forward to every minute!
Congrats on your success today Sierra! I have great respect for the way you have pushed through many injuries this year. You refuse to give up and that inspires me!
