Off To The Simplot Games In Idaho
After sending my girls off to school, I loaded a bus full of track kids. We are off to Idaho for the big indoor track meet known as the Simplot Games…
It was not a bad drive up… We had our favorite driver, Gary driving the bus. He is our #1 supporter!
Once there we had our top runner compete in the 2 mile. He nailed the time he wanted! He hits his mark every time he races even when it looks like he is struggling. He is a very strong, solid runner and it is fun to watch him race. He ran a 9:42 2 miler and made it into the finals on Saturday. (Only the top 14 runners made it out of 5 heats.)
Next we had the milers… Our top miler ran a PR of 4:36. He also looked strong and kept his form and pace even when he was tired! He qualified for the finals on Saturday. Very strong runner also! We had another runner take 1st in his heat and a few more that ran well and not so well. 🙂 It is good though! I enjoy coming here and watching these races! A lot of talent here from all over…
I am way excited… Corom and the girls are coming out tomorrow. We are all going to hang out at the meet, play in the indoor hotel pool, etc. They were going to come up today but the girls did not want to miss their school Valentine’s party. It is close to 10 p.m. and we are almost done with the meet…
