Gracie's Second Track Meet...

Gracie is running for the middle school in town. This was her 2nd ever track meet. Her best race is the 1600m (or 1 mile). Today? She got her best time. AND! She broke the school record! So if you want to beat the time for the 1600m run at this school, you'll have to beat 5:40.78. :) 
(and yes, she's still homeschooled)
Here she is with her fellow runners. They're all on her team except the guy in the middle.

I thought these next two were funny. This was the start of the first lap. Look at their form- the same!

And in this one too!

This was the end of the first lap. The guy in front started off REALLY fast (his coach yelled at him to slow down! I think he's normally a sprinter).

This was the end of the second lap. These two were in the lead at this point.

I must not have taken a picture of the third lap but here they are on their last. Tristan in first (a very nice young man/teammate of Gracie's and a great runner!), Gracie in second & you can see how far back the guy in 3rd is by the time they finished. (the little speck right above "3rd" in red) Tristan beat Gracie by 10 seconds.
