For some of you Older Members you may remember some of my older threads where I had to do a little bragging about my athletic children. Oldest Daughter making All American honors in Track and Field and my youngest daughter finishing 4th at state in High School.

Well Youngest Daughter is now in her 3rd year of College Track and Field. She's had a pretty good first 2 years but this year at her first meet jumped 1 foot further from her best last year and just missed Provisionally qualifying to for Nationals by 2 inches. All 6 jumps were consistent in the same distance...

So if she stays healthy and she improves like she has in the past ... she'll be competing for National Champion.

Fun Fun Fun ...
 
That's great! You have to be proud.:cool:


On a side note we have guy at work who claims that one of his daughters is one of the Tiger Woods girls. What a thing to brag about. :rolleyes:
 
Mespock - how great - I wish her the best of luck, some of the best memories are competing at championship levels!!!
 
Well it was a great day on Saturday ... Youngest daughter provisionally qualified in the 4 x 400 m really for Nationals ...

Now with the monkey off her back time to get the Long Jump there. she's hit some big jumps that would have qualified but scratched on one and on two left behind the board ...

Here's a pic as she took the lead in the 4 x 400 relay and pulled away from the pack.
