Hershey's Track and Field


Ethan and Andrew holding the school sign in the opening ceremony.

My awesome boys!

Ethan jumping. It was dark and hard to get a picture through the fence. He has some springy legs!

   It's that time of year again...track and field! Ethan and Andrew both qualified for the Arizona State Hershey's track and field meet. It's a big meet where kids come from all over the state to participate. It's amazing to watch how fast some of these little kids are. For some reason, their track coach only entered everyone in one event this year. They were a little upset by that, since last year they got three events. Andrew ran the 200m. He was really nervous. He was the youngest in his group, but he did good! He came in 12th place overall. He was a little sad that he didn't do better, but it's his first year and it was a great experience for him.

  Ethan did awesome this year. His event was the standing long jump. He jumped his best ever, 6'10 1/2". I think that is amazing for someone as small as he is. Half of the boys were a whole head taller than he was. He has got some spring in those legs! He came in 4th place for the state. We are so proud of him. Way to go Ethan! It was a great night.

Your boys did great in their meets. I love reading your blog. I think our kids would get along so good if we lived closer to each other. Emma and the twins would have a blast together. We love hearing from you.
