Since E was working on a physical fitness merit badge for scouts, we began jogging at a high school track on the weekends. On one occasion, one of the other runners began talking to us as we were finishing. Turns out, he is a track coach for a local club. Coach O'Neal asked M to join the club as a distance runner, because 'she has amazing stamina'. He noticed how she ran a mile at a steady yet quick pace. Shortly thereafter, M joined the Southwest Stallions as a distance runner.
She participated in her first track meet yesterday. She competed in the 800 meter (2 laps) and the 1500 meter (just shy of 1 mile & 4 laps) events.
She did incredible! She is leading the pack!
There were two runners in front of her and she caught one of them! It was a big foot race to the finish. M held her sprint and finished in front of her!
