THS Girls Track Team

Yesterday we went to see Beverly run in several track events at our school. As you can see from the pictures, it was not a very nice day outside! It was forecast to be sunny and nice, but the clouds hung around all day and by race time, a light mist of rain was falling and the wind was blowing ... not a pretty spring day, for sure!

It looks like Beverly is running alone in the above picture ... and it's a long story, but actually she is alone on the track in this relay at this moment due to "technical difficulties" of the runner ahead of her in the 4x200 relay ... by the time the baton was passed to Beverly, the race was nearly over! But she dug in her heels and ran hard, as if she was competing for first place anyway!

We also watched her run the 100 meter dash. It has been a great experience for her and between basketball and track conditioning, she should be in pretty good physical shape now!
