Wendy's First Track Meet

When we were at a Clinton graduation party one of the dads noticed Wendy racing with the other kids and commented that she really should run track. We had thought about it on and off as an activity for her but hadn't really done much about it. She and Fer both participated in Girls on the Run, but that's a very different kind of running, and I think it turned her off to running as a sport as she is much more of a sprinter than a distance runner and GOTR is all about distance. So we decided to take her to an open track meet that a local running club offers just to see how it would go, and, as we might have predicted, she ended up doing really well. She took first place in the 100 meter and second place in the 200 meter. We're going to look into local teams in the fall!
