Happy Birthday Chloe!

This tweet brought back some happy memories of today.

@ColoradoSep tell Chloe happy birthday from me! I hope you guys have a nice day #ChloesBirthday #StateChampsDay

Quite a haul

It was four years ago today that my lovely daughter Chloe was born. We had chocolate chip pancakes and opened presents this morning. It was the perfect way to start they day. Happy birthday, Clo, I love you!

It was also this day four years ago that Alex, Taylor, Nate and Johnny won a state title in the 4x800. I was lucky enough to get there about 20 minutes before the race started. I had been up all night with Beth (who was the real MVP of that day), and I will never forget seeing Coach Jared Neale before the race. He immediately hugged me and congratulated me on Chloe's birth (everyone knew where I was) and I replied, "We haven't won anything yet!" Ugh. What was I thinking??

Anyways, I can only hope for half of as successful day this week. If all our guys run their best races, we got a shot. And I truly believe they got that in them. So does the birthday girl.

Sep said...: Ugh. Massive mistake on my part. Teidt is correct, it was Derek who ran that spectacular lead off leg. Sorry Derek.

Track Meet Order of Events

All events are traditionally run females first. There is rarely a hard time schedule that can be followed. A "rolling schedule" is followed, where the clock is essentially ignored and once an event is up, it is run. In other words, be early, be ready, be patient.

Girls Sprint Medley
4 x 800 Relay
Sprint Hurdles
100 Dash
4 x 200 Relay
1600 Run
4 x 100 Relay
400 Dash
300m Hurdles
800 Dash
200 Dash
3200 Run
4 x 400 Relay

The only thing I know about field event scheduling is that they seem to change from meet to meet. I will try and post those schedules on a week-to-week basis.
