Was a great weekend in St. Louis. Temps in the 70's... I got a sun burned head.

And Oldest Daughter came in 2nd in the 400 m at the Washinton University Invite.

St. Louis what a great place.
 
That is great news Rich, hearing good news makes my day :cool: , did you get to see Steve.
 
I'll post pics as soon as I get them from my youngest daughter who took over 90 pics. (don't worry I won't be posting all of them).

Tuesday's meet - was a very good first outdoor meet for the season. We only have about 10 girls out for our girls team and they only were 10 points way in a triangular meet from the team that should be our toughest confrence opponent this year (they also have 3x's the number of girls out).

Youngest Daugher took 2nd in the 100m, had a bad race in the 400m finished 4th, 2nd in the 4 x 400m relay, and 1st in the Long Jump.

Next meet is a 5 school meet on Thursday followed by the Wisconsin Indoor Track Championship on Saturday. This will be a very big meet and a good chance to compete with very good competition from many division 1 schools. In the past little Boscobel has made a good show at this meet.

Congrats, even with the red X on the last set.

It is great to know you have such talented offspring. I am sure they get it form their Mom (just like my daughter gets it from her Mom).
 
Those were real good pics Rich, it's a good thing you got you Mark out of that hail storm that would have done some damage. Thanks for posting the pics again :D
 
Just a little update:

Oldest Daughter went to the Drake Relays this past weekend. Anyone who knows track knows the Drake Relays - This is a mix from NCAA I to NCAA III from all over the nation - In order to compete you have to be accepted.

Both Her Distance Medley Relay and 4 x 400m Relay finished 9th which was a good showing for a Division III school.

Youngest Daughter is coming around... We are entering our crunch time with the push for state. Tuesday Night she took 3 first and one second. 1st in the Long Jump finishing a foot longer than her next competitor, 1st in the 100m beating the conference's champ from last year and a state qualifier, and the 4 x 100m relay with the team closing in on what should be a good chance to get to state. She finished 2nd in the 400m leading 7/8th of the race claiming tired legs on the home stretch and just getting edged out. (I did work them very hard the night before which is not what we would do before the large meets coming up).

The next 3 weeks should be as exciting is watching 94m5 (Mike) prepare his car for Carlsile.
 
It's great to see parents involved with their kids.
 
I may only have one year left of coaching... When the youngest goes off to College I'll have to make sure that I am free to head to her meets.

I've been trying to explain that track is secondary not primary when you go on to school. But she's deturmined that track is primary so her choice of college will have to have a track team.

It's upsetting her mother! I'm trying to be no bias but what would you expect from a track coach.... Plus the colleges she's thinking about are closer to me.
