Fast Track ~

Amazing track meet today, an invitational with a zillion high schools there, and the best of the best running. There were 3 heats of 1600 (mile) for the gals, 45 in each heat, and 6 heats of 1600 (mile) for the guys, 40 guys in each heat. Heat after heat of sprints and hurdles -  All of them running so amazingly fast that our hearts were in our throats watching them. So many on our team had a PR (personal record) that we watched hour after hour of races and enjoyed all the excitement!  
My daughter was in the second heat of the 1600 (mile) with 45 girls in her heat. She's easy to find in this line up - in a white tank top and red hair in ponytail, next to gal in all red, sort of in lane 2. 
 
Here she is at the far left, ponytail flying, passing one of the many runners that she passed before the end of the race.  She did amazingly well, and just one second from her PR.  The PR that she ran just the Thursday before. Awesome!!
