Julia is a mini me in many ways but not when it comes to sports. I despised most organized sports, yet Julia already asked me how many sports you can play in high school! She must get it from Chet!
This is her 2nd year participating in the after school running club and was excited when the High School track team organized a city wide track meet for kids. Since we also needed to be somewhere else that morning, Julia only chose 2 events- 100 meter dash and the mile. She placed 5th in the dash finals (out of 30+ girls) and 7th in the mile (only 8 kids, mostly older boys, chose to run the mile). Poor girl- she ran the 100 meter dash and was immediately called to the mile event and then immediately to the dash finals (with less than a minute break between). She looked desperate to bail on the finals but chose to run anyway and still did great! The event was just for fun but a great intro to the sport of track and field as well as running a full track.
So excited to see where this girl goes!
