We (Ben, Emmy, and myself) have been telling Lucy to try track for years . . . and she finally did this year. She maybe even surprised herself that she was actually pretty good! :) Lucy's events included the long-jump (which, despite her lack of body length, she was able to always be in the top 1/3 of jumpers) and everything 100-meter related. Such as: the 100-meter dash, the 4x100, and sometimes the 800-meter medley (where she would be one of the two 100-meter runners). She made a mistake her first meet (ever) on the medley and was kind of banned from doing it again. . . lame.
Lucy was the fastest 100 girl on her team/from her school. So that was pretty exciting! Of the four meets they had, Lucy took 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, and then 4th overall in the 100-meter dash. So awesome!!! Again, her long-jumps were typically in top 1/4th or 1/3rd. And her team always won the 4x100. :) So a pretty great season, especially considering she had never done anything like this before. She had a lot of friends who did it as well and just had a really fun season. She plans on doing in high school - yay!
