3rd Grade Track Meet

Today was a beautiful day for the 3rd grade track meet.  Chattaroy Elementary was bused to Riverside Elementary to compete.

They started out with some stretching.

Marcus ran the 200.

This is the heat races...they are off.

As they round the corner Marcus is starting to lead.

He won his heat race so on to the finals.

Ready for the finals.

Marcus had to race his good friend Justin...Marcus is in the lead!

Marcus pulls away.

Go Marcus Go!

Marcus won the 200!

Nice job Justin and Marcus...Justin took 2nd.

Marcus also did the high jump.  Here he is making his approach.

Jump!

Nice Job....he clears it!

Great work Marcus.

These are the final 5 boys for the high jump.

Marcus decided to take his final jump from the other side since he's a lefty.

Here he comes.

And he jumps...he scratched but did an amazing job all around!

Marcus got either 4th or 5th, Tyler got either 4th or 5th and Justin got 3rd.

Last was the relay.  Marcus and Javin are in different classes this year so they were racing each other. 

They are both the anchor runners.

The hand offs.

Go boys!

Emma took most of these photos while I video taped...she did an amazing job!

Push hard Marcus.

They were neck and neck the entire time.

The relay team from Ms. Rocchi's class.

Ruby wanted a funny face picture; Marcus looked a bit too serious.

I allowed the girls to miss class to help me with pictures and to cheer their brother on.  Bree got to help with the track meet.

Thanks for helping girls!  Marcus's class ended up placing 2nd overall out of 4 teams.  Not too bad!
