First Year Track

Our youngest granddaughter is participating for the first time in track. She started out participating in the javelin, discus, broad jump, and 200 meters. From the beginning, she dropped out of javelin because the javelin throwers had to stay an extra hour after the others. She then dropped out of the broad jump out of frustration. The coach wouldn't work with the 7th graders to help them with technique and she kept fouling. Now she's putting most of her focus on the discus which she is doing quite well. She beat an 8th grader for distance in this meet by one and a half feet. (46 cm)

Glad she is continueing to try. The coaches should give 7th graders guidance if they want to build the team.

Track is such a good sport. Good luck to her! A friend of mine who threw discus through college and became a coach would be happy!

Good luck to her. That was the one event I never could teach - but fortunately, did have a highschool girl (who started track with me in 6th grade - and held the youth state record) who came and helped me.
