The rest of this is going to be a sports report, because I'm not sure if there is anything else to talk about in our family right now. I'm so sun fried! We had 5 soccer games and 5 track meets this week! The weather has been absolutely perfect, but we all got a bit too much sun! All four kids competed in the 100 meter this week, they are all so speedy!
Ellie 14:53 seconds
Miriam 14:10 seconds
Enoch 12.59 seconds
Natalie 13:13 seconds
Ellie won the 100m AGAIN for the third year in a row against all the girls her age in Spanish Fork. She did great in the 200m, the standing long jump, and the 4x100 relay as well. She had been sick for the three days before the meet, so she didn't have her usual energy and was exhausted by the end, but she was a trooper!
Miriam's great accomplishment this year was learning to do the hurdles. She ended up as the only 7th grader in the final 100m hurdle race at the district Jr. high meet. She very excitedly took 5th place! She also qualified to compete in the district meet in the long jump, 100m, and 4x100 relay. Her soccer team is currently in 1st place and she has become the #2 scorer in her division with 9 goals this season!
Enoch decided to try throwing the shot put and discus while recovering from surgery. He added the events 100m and high jump a few weeks ago. He did amazing and qualified for districts in all four events and he even set a school record of 35 feet 8 inches in the shot put. Someone beat his throw later in the season, but he held the record for a few weeks. :-) Enoch bought himself a mountain bike last week and he has spent every spare second on the mountain trying it out. He REALLY loves it and so far he only has a few (hundred) scrapes and bruises.
Natalie got her speed back - it's been a long 2 and half years of effort since surgery, but I think she did it this week! She qualified to run in the final 100m race in the region track meet which was a huge milestone for her! She has her sights set on qualifying for state in that event next year, although she does get to compete at state this year with her relay team. Her club soccer team finished in 1st place this season which puts them as a Premier 1 team next year, that's pretty cool that they made it into the very top division for her senior year! Natalie is currently at THE PROM while I write this! She is speaking in sacrament meeting for Mother's Day and she is doing singing time in Primary so the women can go to Relief Society. I think she has a busy morning of preparation ahead of her.
