Emmy's Final Days of 7th Grade

 So Emmy participated in track at school the last few weeks and had a good time. It was a quick "season" - 3 weeks. 1 week of just-practices and 2 weeks that included practices and three track meets. I got to go to all three meets and it was super fun to watch. In her first meet, Emmy did the mile (or 1600 meters) and the 200-meter dash. The last two meets she added in another event: the 800-meter (so two times around the track). This made it hard on her 200-meter race as the 800 was right before the 200! But she pushed it hard on the 200 and won or tied every one. :) She usually ended up 3rd or 4th on the mile run (2nd in her grade-level) and usually 1st (with one 3rd) on the 800. They were smaller meets with only 2 other schools participating. So it was a great "practice" season to be introduced to track. 

Emmy always had a great final push in the mile. Her times were always right around 6:52. Awesome.

This is how she felt every time after the mile. :)

This was Emmy's last 200 - it was so fun to watch!! (We had horrible wind that day and so it made it much harder to run of course!) Argh, nevermind. Blogger stinks and won't let me upload videos anymore. If you're interested, check out my youtube and you can see the 2 track videos I posted.

Her last track meet was last Thursday and then Friday was her last day at school. There may or may not have been a slight rebellion taking place at school that day in which Emmy may or may not have participated in . . . regarding wearing masks. :) I better not say anymore because on my last post when I made my comment on the CDC, my blog was all of a sudden deemed a "dangerous" site and I had to go through this whole request thing to get it off. Wow, free speech anyone?! 

Anyways, back to Emmy . . . She's all done with her crazy pandemic school year! She's both sad and happy. Happy for summer and a break from teachers and school work. But sad to not so all of her friends for a while. In fact, tomorrow will be her official "first day of summer" and she's already bored . . . Bored enough that she will be going to Lucy's school to help out. Awesome.

Yay, she's done!!!
