___Last night was cold and damp, almost worse than when they canceled the Rams Early Bird Relays, but we had a track meet. It wasn't the best night for pictures with all the moisture in the air but I snapped away anyway.
Jeff started off the Shuttle Hurdle relay. (The last two meets they have been in a different order so Jeff and Caleb are against the wind. Tommy is so light he can really sail with the wind at his back and wouldn't get anywhere against the wind!) They won and set new records. Then Jeff ran the 100 and had a personal best. Next the 400 and another personal best. Those 3 events are one after another, so when it is a girl/boy meet he can run all 3, but when it is boys only meet he hasn't been running the 100 and runs the 200 instead. Right now he has the team's best in all three. Then he anchored the 4 x 100 relay, which placed third last night. The goal is to run in the state meet. Our district is in Ida Grove which looks like a good place for our team. You can follow times and standings on Quik Stats, which you can get on from the Iowa High School Athletic Association website. We are Heart of Iowa Conference (Large) and District 2A-07. You have to win at district to go to state or have best times compared to the other districts. I don't know how many they take per event.
