Julia joined her school's track team this year. They started their practices back in March when it was still full of snow so they would run outside on the sidewalks or inside in the school's halls...
They had their first meet in New Liskeard. Julia took the school bus and had a great day!
Last week, there was another meet at her school but she was too sick to participate. She was better for today's meet! Since it was in Timmins, I was able to go before and after my lunch monitoring, Keld went during his lunch and Special and Ivy were able to attend all her races!
Julia first run a 200 meters against her cousin Kendra. They are at opposite ends (Julia is close to the spectators, Kendra close to the field.)
Julia won! She finished 13 out of 29. She then ran a 4 X 100 meters relay. She was the last one to go. The end of the video is pretty good ;)
In the end, their team was 3rd out of 8. After that, Julia ran another relay (one with different lengths, Julia was running 200 meters.) This time, it's the beginning of the video that is interesting. You can see how someone bumped into her while trying to pass her bâton, which completely destabilized our poor Julia who couldn't get her bâton. It's a good thing that the last girl, Maria (from Spain!) is a great runner who was able to catch up quite a bit of time!
Next week there is another meet at her school. It is the qualifications for the provincial meet, which will take place the week after. Good luck Julia !
And I want to finish by giving special thanks to Aunt Ashley who has been doing Julia's hair for all her meets !!
