Track Meet #2

Grandma and Gram came up and wanted to see one of Jaydon's track meets.  It was a brisk summer evening and unfortunately right at the last minute Jeremy had to stay home because our dryer broke!  We had a good time at the track meet and Jaydon got to try a new event, javelin.

 

He started out at the long jump pits, being our second time we sort of had the hang of how to navigate the crowds and make it to the different events in a timely manner.

First attempt at the javelin.

Video of the javelin, we will work on his throwing technique

Sorry for the terrible video of his 50m dash, the crazy camera work at the end was him running into me and knocking me over.

Jaydon's first track meet

Our local Parks and Rec puts on an all comers meet and we decided to attend.  It is crazy how many young kids were there but it was a lot of fun.  We learned a couple ways to do things and look forward to going back.  Jaydon had a blast and enjoyed his 50m hurdles and long jump experiences!

Before the events started helping himself smile.

Jaydon's second long jump attempt out of three, this was his longest jump measuring 2feet 4inches.

Holding up his third place ribbon, from the 50m hurdles.  I think they gave him that one instead of a participant one because he fell down but kept on going.  See the videos below.  I guess we haven't taught him everything there is to know about track.  We have a few years yet :)

Sorry the video is so bad I need to figure out how to zoom with it, Jaydon is on the far left.

This was his first long jump attempt
