2nd Grade Track Meet

 

Yesterday was the girls' track meet.  They both ran the 400.  Olivia went in the first heat.  She was actually injured but ran her best. 

 

Emma ran in the second heat and won her race.  It was a tight race between her and Lexie but Emma did it. 

 

Olivia was upset that she was hurt but Emma was there to make her feel better.  What a good sister.  Emma was pumped and ready for the final race...Olivia didn't qualify.

 

Javin, Emma, Malia, Lexie and Olivia waiting for the finals.

 

Sadly the "twin" thing messed up the teacher and Olivia ended up in the final when Emma was really supposed to be there.  Emma was super upset and Olivia was too.  Neither one of them said anything until it was too late though.  I was sad for both, but unfortunately I wasn't paying attention and couldn't do anything about it.  Lexie ended up winning...Emma had beat her the race before.  The teacher promised to make it up to Emma though and just said "Sorry, I always mess those two up!"

 

In the field events Emma did the long jump...here she gets her running start.

 

Jump Emma Jump!

 

Then she came over with me to cheer on Olivia.

 

Olivia did the ball throw.

 

Winding up to throw.

 

Nice throw Olivia.

 

Overall both girls did very well...I was very proud of them especially for how they handled themselves when the teacher made a mistake.  I think they are used to it though because Emma's comment was "the only person that doesn't mess us up is the lunch lady"...being a twin is tough!
