Speedy Gonzales

 

At first, Preston was disappointed that he didn't make the last cut for the school soccer team . . but then he quickly realized he really enjoys running track!  They have had three meets so far and two times he made the point sheet for the school!  We knew he was fast, but it's so much fun to watch him get faster and faster as he practices each week.  Currently, he is representing in the 100m, 400 relay, and 800 relay. At the last meet all three earned his team points even though the team came up short overall.  

It's pretty impressive that he has never run before and even as a 7th grader is earning points for the team, beating out 8th graders!

We'll see how the season ends up but he definitely loves being a part of the school team (and being able to wear the JMR hoodie and ride the bus to meets LOL).  Now for us spectators, wow, the events take forever . . . but I've found that I like being able to participate as a parent helper to make the time go faster and get an up-close view of the runners. :)
