Tori's First Track Meet - March '09

Here we come Olympics 2020 with our little runner! We thought we'd try track out for Tori this Spring. The kiddo has endless energy and loves to run everywhere she goes. So far, so good! She loves it! Of course the social part is the best, playing patty cake while waiting in line seems to top the list. Doing cartwheels on the open infield is a plus, but when it comes to race time she is one focused little munchkin! She is part of the Santa Clarita Storm Track Club. She practices twice a week at a local high school and has meets on Saturdays.
That's her on the left running the 800m (two laps). She followed this girl all the way around 1and3/4 laps and then made her move on the straight away and won the race!
We learned a lot about the "all day" track meet. Need to be prepared.....!

All ready to go for my first meet!


Here she is running the 200m race. She got 1st place in her heat, 2nd overall. She is just so stinkin' cute! She has such a competitive spirit,not sure where she gets it :) must be from her Uncle Steve! (You can mute the music on the playlist if you scroll all the way down to it so you can hear the audio)
