Welcome Back!
As I shared yesterday, Jack had a regional track meet in Minneapolis this weekend. He did very well and was overall very pleased with his and his teams performance. I did not head up, so unfortunately I only have one picture of this historic event.
Jack finished 10th overall in the 100 and the 200. The top 8 times qualified for the finals. We are super proud of him!! He, too, was pleased with his accomplishments!
In the 100 finals, the top 5 finishers all broke the meet record. These boys ran in the low 12s (meaning 12 seconds) FAST!! Especially for that age group! These boys are all the same age!!
In the 200, the top three finishers also broke the meet record. They ran in the low 25s (25 seconds.) Very few kids Sam’s age can run that fast! Extreme talent at this meet.
This is Jack’s 200 heat. He placed fourth in his heat. Boy are those boys fast!! Could not get the video to upload, but you can click on the link to watch his 200 prelims race.

Jack’s 4×100 team, though, remains undefeated!! They finished first in their age group, got to stand on the medal blocks and receive their medals!
I must say though, I don’t know if Jack was more excited about the track meet or staying up late Saturday night with his friends that didn’t have to run on Sunday! I heard much more about the evening than I did the meet!
