Hershey Track

Down here in the schools, they hold the Hershey Track Meet. Rylan won third place in the softball throw and the 400m. A few weeks later we got an email from the association stating that he qualified for the Regional meet in those 2 events. It was held at Provo High School including all kids in Utah County who qualified. Rylan took third place again in the softball throw and 4th in the 400m. He ran that race in 1 min 12 seconds. At the end he said "mom, does it ever get to the point where after you run you do not want to throw up?" I laughed and told him yes, if you train, but that shows you ran your best. It was so fun to watch him compete. It took me back to all my years of track and field. I must say that I realized that it is way better to be the athlete than the spectator at a track meet. Thank you mom and dad for all the years you sat there and watched. Track meets are really long. CONGRATS Rylan, you are a natural athlete and you did great!
