We went to the first All Comer's Track Meet last Monday night and it was SO MUCH FUN! Civic Field hosts an all-ages track and field night every Monday throughout the entire summer. They start with a 4 and under division and kids get to participate in long jump, hurdles, 50m dash and even the javelin (which I've heard is just a big nerf arrow...awesome!)
We got there early and Carter had some time to check out his competition and explore the track. He warmed up by running stairs.
Then, took a few laps around the track.
Got a little sidetracked by the sandpit and started playing (and getting in the way of a long jumper...oops).
Finally, it was his turn. They split up the kids into 1 & 2 year olds and of course he was the biggest kid. Matt reminded him where the start line was.
Waiting for the announcer to say "Go!"
And he was off! I have a video which tracks his every step but I'm too tired to post it right now. He was such a fast runner, jumped over every hurdle and came in 3rd place with a time of 26 seconds! He even got his own ribbon to take home. Looks like we'll be regular attenders of the Monday night track meets for the rest of the summer! (and, he fell asleep in less than 10 minutes when we got home!).
