Running Track!

Ane had such a good time running in cross-country this last fall that she decided to run track this spring.

Plus all the meets (except the final) are on Tuesdays, which is Grandma’s day off, which means we can “borrow” Grandma to help out with the logistics.

Unlike cross-country, though, only the top three finishers in each event/race get a ribbon.  We  found that out at the first meet last week.

Grandma took her to yesterday’s meet (Tad’s ABA therapy had gotten moved to Tuesday, so I was there), and look what she came home with!

The story goes like this:

Ane subbed in for a girl on one of the relay teams who couldn’t make the track meet.  She ran the first leg of the relay, and the relay team ended up taking 1st place!  So she got a ribbon!

She also ran the 50 yard dash, and placed better than last week, I heard.

But it’s always cool to come home with a ribbon.
