More Track Action
Sprint heats and high jump today. Lots of pictures!
Our YMCA coaches are tallying the best sprint times, pairing runners for the next heat.
Dig! You can do it! Run!
Won by a leg.
I love how the girl in the middle is so focused on her running. Look at her hands.
See?
The people holding the tape anticipated the end of the race a little too soon.
Awesome high jump shots today too. This boy makes it look easy.
I would love to see how she does with the bar raised about 8 inches.
Awesome form!
She jumped over the high jump bar as if it were a hurdle. Awesome!
Cleared the bar with room to spare. Way to go!
Keep your eyes peeled on this girl, a budding track star for sure. Her mom ran the Boston Marathon last year with an awesome finishing time!
Here’s another one that makes the high jump look easy.
Awesome!
Confession: I don’t think I ever did the high jump backwards like that. These kids are so cool!
Grex is going to kill me for putting this picture up. Don’t know why. I think it’s AWESOME! He cleared the bar!
Grex, you are one awesome high jumper!
After a cool-down run with a friend, track is over for today. What a great way to start a Saturday!

My family calls me "the mamarazzi."
Love the one of the girl so focused on the finish line, and Grex’s hands and feet.
Kids really have a sense of joy and abandon at pushing their bodies to the limit that you’ve really caught here. Too bad a lot of us seem to lose it as we get older!
