Hershey Track Meet

Any of you kiddos like track and field?

Last year, a few families along with ours would meet at Volcano Vista High School track weekly as we got ready for the Hershey track meet. We worked on relays (hand-offs), played games, and I timed the kids, and encouraged them to beat their times. They tried all the events, to see what they liked. Anyways, the kids all made it to state!

I thought it'd be fun....to share the fun...and invite all of you...but plan on coming and participating..no just sitting and watching...we need lots of cheering for the kids! :)

This Tues. at 4:30 (May 25th) at the Volcano Vista High School Track we will be meeting & running. (It's a bummer that the local track teams have meets on Sundays.) We will meet the following Tues. at 4:30 and then on June 5th there is a local track meet. This gives the kids a goal to work towards. Larsen's favorite part of the whole thing is if you place first at state, you could qualify for a trip to Hershey Pennsylvania..and an all-expense paid trip for you child. (tourn the Hershey factory, get to go to the Hershey Amusement Park...) Any future track starts out there???

I ran track in high school, and loved it! Matter of fact, I ran in the Hershey Track meet...and now it's tradition all my neices and nephews in Arizona run in it. It's free to participate in the meet, you just have to fill out the reg. form. Your child can participate in 3 out of these 7 events: 100 meter, 50, 200, 400, softball throw, standing long jump, and 4x100 relay...

So bring your kids down to the track...with comfortable clothes and a waterbottle! I think the kids that are 7-12 participate in the meet...but all the young ones have fun practicing..and running too!
The kids will be working on beating their time, not their friend!
