First Track Meet of the Season

To properly set the stage you should know these things:

1. In order to compete in this meet you had to have had 10 practices and a C average or higher.
2. The Prince's team has about 50 or so 7th and 8th grade boys.
3. There were 11 boys on the bus today!
4. One of the other schools showed up with 2 buses full of boys, but our boys weren't deterred.
5. At 3pm yesterday it was 78*. Today, at 3pm, it was 48* and WINDY!! BRRRRR. I was not dressed warmly enough.
6. You'll see the prince wearing his jacket in 2 of the events. This is not normal protocol, but it was necessary today!
7. He did a great job today!

Discus...his first time to ever compete in this event.

Running the 100 meters. That's him in red shorts and black top. He took 3rd in his heat which is better than he did all year last year. Not sure where he ended up placing overall.

Throwing shot. He really likes this event and threw it over 26' (I think). We saw one boy throw really far, but all others were around where the prince was or much shorter!

Again, not sure how he scored overall in any of the events because we got the heck out of the arctic as soon as he had completed the requisite 3 events. He would have also done long jump if it had been warmer. Until next time...
