Track 2016

This is the view from a walking path near Borah High School where the kids practiced and had meets.  I took this earlier in the season while the kids were at track practice.

The homeschool kids ended their track season last night with a meet at Borah High School.  It was a beautiful evening.  Caleb and Nicolas were even able to join us to watch their younger siblings compete.   Here are just a few pictures I took over the season:

Since Borah HS is only ten minutes from the airport we are constantly seeing planes take off.  Last night we counted at least twenty-two in the time we were at the meet.

Nicolas finished his track season last weekend at the state meet.  He qualified in the 200m and the 4x100.  He did not make it out of prelims in the 200m, but the 4x100 finished 4th.  The weather was not great--mostly cool and rainy all weekend, but they still had a great time and made good memories.  We had fun hosting the state qualifiers in our home for a pasta supper after practice the Thursday night before state.

Love this picture with the mountains in the background

Caleb helping his dad coach at the district meet.  We were glad  Grandpa and Grandma had a  beautiful evening to watch Nicolas run.

3rd place finish in the 200m at Districts qualified Nicolas for State!

4th place in the 4 x 100 at State

My awesome family supported Caleb in his track season at Dordt and were even able to snap a few pictures.  His outdoor season was limited due to weather, only running three outdoor meets.  Although he came into college as primarily an 800m runner, Caleb was finding that he might have hidden talent in the 400m!
