Tevins Track Meet

Every year at Kitty Ward they have a 5th Grade track meet. It is held at one of the high schools. This year there were 3 other elementary schools invited. Tevin was so nervous the day before. He kept asking if he could stay home from school. But then on the morning of---- He popped right out of bed! (and he just doesn't do that!) I told his teacher they needed to have track meets every day! Tevin was participating in the 50m dash, the 200m relay, the football throw and the softball throw. The 50m dash was the very first event. He was so nervous! They lined up in groups of 6 at the starting line. The whistle blew and the first group was off. I kept watching  for Tevy but he didn't come. He still didn't come. Where was he? Did I miss him? FINALLY- in one of the very end groups- there he was. He lined up. There went the whistle and he was off like a shot!

He ran and ran! He was out in front! Who knew he could run so fast? He totally won first place!!! Blue ribbon for him!! He was so excited! I was so glad he was off to such a great start!

Look how focused he is!

WINNER!!! WINNER!!! CHICKEN DINNER!!!

He did so good for the rest of his events. In the 200m relay, his team got 6th place but his teacher told me he was the anchor leg and he almost caught his team up! He was AWESOME!!!!

Then..... later that night- his baseball team had a game. They were playing the Redsox. It is their rival team. You know- if there was a team to beat, this one was it! They were behind 2-6 it wasn't looking to hopeful. Then- can you say COMEBACK!!!! They totally came back and knocked them out of the park! The final score was 9-6! Can you believe that! It was a pretty awesome day in sports for Tevin!
