Loren and Veronica at Track Sectionals

Loren and Veronica competed in their Track Sectionals on Saturday. Loren ran the mile and in two relays, the 4 x 200 and the 4 x 400. She also competed in the high jump. She was first in every heat except for the high jump. So, she qualified to compete in state for those three events. In high jump, today just wasn't her day. She has cleared 4'8" before, but the cold and the wind must have gotten to her today. She was unable to clear 4'4".

1st place in the mile, 5 minutes 51 seconds

Veronica ran the 800 Meter today, and placed 8th. She had a good start, and was in second place after the first lap. But something happened about 2/3 into the last lap. She seemed to stumble a little, and then lost the will to keep going. This was her first year running, though, and she did pretty well. Next year she'll know what to expect, and should improve a lot. Good job Veronica!
