Big Day?

Well the weather is sketchy today. Rain and clouds but the rain may be to the south of us. They are always so vague on the forecast that it is tough to know for sure where the rain will fall.

Today is the big day (weather permitting) that Jess will qualify for state. We have the regional/district track meet today in Dallas Center. She is running the 4x800(which is a bunch of crap) the 200, 400 and the Sprint Med relay. The 4x800 is an attempt by the coaches for her to drag a a group of girls to state that have absolutely no shot at a top 20 finish at state.

There is so much wrong with it that there is too much to explain in the blog. Needless to say, I hope that team doesn't make it.

The goal for her today is to make it to state in the 200, and the sprint med and have the top time in the state in the 400 when she qualifies. The time she posts today will determine her lane assignment for state. She wants lane 4 and to have it she has to have the top time. Right now she is ranked #1 but it will all come down to today.

The forecast isn't great and if it lightnings they will postpone it until tomorrow morning.

Drew is practicing baseball a bunch and had a choir concert last night. He hates doing the concerts but it is his last one so he can relax.

I really want Jess to do well today and I am pretty nervous.

I will post tomorrow for a rare Saturday post to let you all know how she did.

Off to start the day.
