1st @ 1st Track Meet of the Year!


Austin just finished his first track meet of the year and did exceptionally well. An indoor meet at Park High School. He is on Varsity again this year and very excited about the season.
His first event was the 440 dash and he took 1st place. It is a bad picture but that was him coming around the home stretch and as you can see he had quite a lead on the rest of the pack.
Second event was the long jump, he was pretty tired but managed to get a 2nd place finish with a jump of 18'10". His coach told him if he wouldn't stagger stepped into the board he would have hit 20'. That is what he is aiming for.
And his final event was the Mile Relay(4x400) and well.........yep you guessed it his team took 1st place. That is his favorite event.
He doesn't think he'll be able to run the 400 in outdoor and the 4x400 so he might try his hand at the triple jump and high jump. He has quite a full season so there will be definitely more to come.
