We've been burning the candle at both ends around here, and it feels like we are finally able to catch up a bit since we ended the track season this week.
We had a new addition to the track meet when the pole vault coach saw Kyle in the hallway, assumed he was Reed's brother, found out he was on the dive team, and asked him to come out and pole vault.
Kyle showed up at the district meet after learning how to pole vault the day before. I'm hoping he'll stick with it and we might have another pole vaulter in the family next year.
We all laughed that Kyle wasn't used to wearing so many clothes for a uniform!
Reed was killing it in vaulting and Jason turned to me and said "he's going to go over 10 feet today." I told him "Why would you say that?! Now he's not going to!"
But the way the meet was set up, they had all the field events and the 2 mile run on the same day. So Reed left pole vaulting and went and ran a 11:53 finishing in 6th.
When he came back to pole vault he was up and had to go with no time to rest. He was completely wiped out, and just couldn't do it. So he also finished in 6th in pole vault. Had the 2 mile run not been at the exact same time, I know we would have had different results in both the run and the pole vault.
He also ran in the district 1 mile this week. Running under 5 minutes didn't even get you in the top 6, but Reed ran a respectable 5:24.
As we left the track meet he said, "I'm ready to go back to cross country".
