It must be the chocolate chip pancakes

The weather isn't too bad today. We are going to be warm and a little bit of rain tonight into tomorrow. Drew has a baseball game on Thursday and Jess has her regional track meet on Friday.

Last night the weather was perfect for the track meet. There was a pretty good wind but it was not too bad. Jess had probably the best track meet of her career.

She started at the long jump and scratched her first attempt. She actually had a huge jump but was over by just the tip of her shoe. The second jump she hit the board way too early and jumped 13 something. The third jump she hit it very well and jumped 15 feet 10 inches. Her best ever and good enough for 1st place and the Gold Medal.

Her second event was the 400. She broke her own school record and ran a time of 58.11 seconds. This was a great time and she looked strong the whole way. Gold number 2.

Third event was the 800. She ran with the pack the first lap and then took the lead and won by a pretty good margin. Gold number 3.

The last event was the Sprint Med and the coaches, once again, put in a very slow 100 runner. By the time Jess got the batton, she was in last place (8th) and the leader had probably 70 meters on her. She caught them and WON! She ran another 58.13 split on her 400 and caught the pack, passed them down the stretch and won the race. Gold number 4.

Four conference titles, 2 personal bests, a school record and an amazing run in the relay. It was quite a night.

Up next is regionals and that meet is where she qualifies for state. She has a good chance of making it in 3 events.

Off to start my day.
