I need your advice

Well, we ran in the regional track meet last week and five of the kids made it to the state track championships. After missing a shot in the state 100M relay and the 200M relay by just hundreths of a second each, my daughter had to run a 400M [individual ]dash. She ran it immediately after the 100M relay. I was very concerned that the runners she was racing were rested and that she might miss a chance at state. She qualified easily at 58. 5 seconds and came in second. According to the OSU website, this time is better than their top 400M time for college runners. She ran even faster at state last year. The other kids were disapointed in the fact that they had enough speed to qualify in the other two events,but bad handoffs hurt the effort.

The 400M relay was our last chance to send our relay team to state, and the coaches told them to concentrate on the running more than the handoffs ,and it calmed them down a little. We were in sixth place at the last hand off and my daughter made up 25 meters on the pack at the 300 M mark. The other runners in 4th and 5th place were trying their best to defeat each other because the winner would advance to state. Katie really spooled it up at the final turn and started going wide. She got both of 'em by a good five yards at the end.

Her split time was 57 seconds flat. Not bad for running four races in one day. The local newspaper called it ''phenomenal''

Sorry boys ,we'll be in Columbus OH --not Muncie

My wife is down there this weekend, she helps coach the waterloo team. I will be in Muncie. I hope everything goes well for your daughter. Dean
 
Good luck to your daughter & her team! Our girls' softball team won the state 3A semifinal tonight and will play in the final on Saturday- go Lady Tigers!
 
Yep your right some things are more important. That daughter will be grown up before you know it so don't miss nothing. There will be other Muncie's. She must have a little Cummings in her they get to that big ole hill and they just keep going up and up. :D She did a good job.
 
Did Great

We could not ask for much more than we got. Katie bested her time of last year by . 3 and ran a 57. 3 quarter mile. New school record and 3rd in state. Tougher competetions this year as we saw 2 state records in sprints .

The relay team had a great finish. We barely got in the finals with an 8th place semifinal finish. Everybody ran huge for us and set personal records The kid ran the anchor from last place to 6th place,and had it spoolin'up to pass two more,but ran out of track before she could get them. Ran a 56. 9 split to finish the race.

The night before the race, the team ate at the cheesecake factory ,and ate filet mignon--$261. 00 for five kids:eek: I bought a round of beer for the parents, and I am still :{ about the bill

Let's hear from you Bill Lins and D Steinel on how your kids did !

You have to make the most of the little time you have with them--that's for sure.

Btw== Saw a nice twin stack dodge on a trailer on I-70 being pulled by a forty foot motor home Fri. afternoon . Wonder where he was headin'?
