Eric went out for track this year. It is the first year for 6th graders to have 'school' track and field. He was on the edge on whether or not he wanted to do it, so I bribed him. He is distantly related to Gene Venzke, after all
His chosen events are the hurdles, high jump, and long jump. His first track meet was a few weeks ago at the Community Bowl.
His first event was the long jump. He scratched all 3 attempts :-(. His form was otherwise good, just need to work on the timing of his jump.
Next up was the 100 m dash. Not his chosen event, but apparently Bismarck does not allow 6th graders to do the hurdles (flashback to Parks and Rec Track of '13) so he chose this event instead. He did not place (there were nearly 1.3 billion 6th graders in this event)
Finally was the high jump. He cleared the first 2 heights, but not the 3rd. He again has great form.
Next meet is the 30th in Bismarck. Mandan was supposed to host one yesterday, but the track is damaged.
No high jump pics, as I had to leave to pick up Megan. Don was able to video it.
