Track and field has begun....

Actually it started maybe 2 weeks ago? But our school had the first 3 meets cancelled due to weather. Today will be the first.

My grandson is entered in the 100 and 200. He's also a long jumper but won't compete in long jump today. I mentioned last year that my grandkid's high school dropped Track and Field a LONG time ago and just brought it back maybe 5 years ago? problem is... they have an old track - yards not meters, which to me should not matter - you just adjust the start and finish line - but the ruling organization won't allow a meet unless the track is laid out by meters.

Field events are a bigger problem because we don't have a long jump pit, high jump pit, etc. We compete in those events but no practice.... the meets themselves are their practice and competition.

Grandson will be competing 'varsity' even though he's a Freshman... not sure how that works. But pretty sure he's about to find out how fast those true track guys are.
