T chose to join the Tualatin Track Club this spring.
They meet to run/train twice a week and over the course of the season he will have meets most weekends. I think all of K's running is what spurred T's interest. Right off the bat T showed real commitment and determination and he has actually been practicing with the older kids during mid-week practice because of the potential he is showing.
Today we had T's first track meet. I'm new to all-day track meets and it was a bit hectic because T chose to compete in two track events and two field events so we were all over the field. Evidently getting to the start was the hard part cause T made the rest look easy :)
T's first event was the 400m
T took 2nd place (by .06 seconds) with a time of 1:16:35.
T then ran the 800m and, again, took 2nd place (by .04 seconds) with a time of 2:50:32.
I didn't get any pictures of T throwing the TURBO-JAVELIN but he did great and took 3rd place in his age group with a distance of 64' 9"
T's last event was the LONG JUMP with a distance of 11' 3" which was an 8th place tie.
I think T has found something that he is going to enjoy!!!
