Yesterday,was a tough track day again….Good for Lauren, 1st in her 100m heat 3rd over all,but me, oooooh. Where do I begin,arrived late to the track (looked at the schedule wrong, “Lesson Take Away” Always double check your schedule. Lost keys for awhile, you get the picture. After all that the Philadelphia Track Family continued to be warm ,very gracious. That really helped when I was running around like a chicken with her head freshly chopped off.. : )
At this point I just want to salute all you single TrackMoms that do this “Track Thing” week in and out with no helping hand.Lord knows the kids aren’t much help,especially before their races.”Mom I have to run sooooooon” YA,YA YA. Plan meals, Personal hydration monitor, Entertainment Director, Part Time Coaching, Rest monitor, Over Excertion Monitor (“No swimming honey you know why”, No not tomorrow either…) : ) I could go on.I have had a great time but I plan on never traveling to a meet with out Henry again NEVER….
On To The Track
Ones to watch
*Eliza Brooks of the Wilmington Track Club ran a effortless 14.97 to qualify first in the subbantam girls 100m.
*Victoria Powell looks to live up to her name sake (as in “Queen”) in the 100m and 400m. Lauren Williams likewise, looks to leave with her name meaning (“Victorious”) and Rebekah Clark plans to spoil things for the both of them.Only running post season ,she is looking like a great upset possibility. Tune in tomorrow, this promises to be one of the most exciting races of the entire season.
* Youth girl Myasia Jacobs of Transy East Track Team easily qualifies yesterday for the 100m tuning up for a championship run later this month.
In the Youth Boys 100m, Zion Thomas of Tnt Express ,Malcolm Jenkins of Supersonics Track Club and Sabum Abanda of Sudden Impact Track Club are just to close to call, Don’t blink you just might miss your favorite.
