One Day More of Track and Field! High School junior Jackson is running 2 events at the state track finals in Des Moines today, and then track will be over. We've spent a lot of time staring at the computer screen watching live feeds and results come in.............. here's the recap!
A week ago Thursday, Jackson qualified for state in 4 events.........110 high hurdles, shuttle hurdle relay, 400 low hurdles, and the 4x400 relay. Today, he is competing in the finals of the 110 high hurdles and the shuttle hurdle relay.
Then, a week ago Friday, college freshman, Carter, was participating in the Missouri Valley Conference track meet in Illinois for the University of Northern Iowa. His main thing was the decathlon (10 events in 2 days), but he also competed individually in high jump, long jump, and javelin to try to help the team score more points. The men did repeat as conference champs, so guess it worked.
Carter was leading after the first day of the decathlon and finished in 2nd overall. UNI went 1,2,3,4 in the decathlon, so they were pretty excited. That's Carter on the right.
Here is Jackson's shuttle hurdle relay team. He's on the left. We're hoping they do well this morning.
In other news, the reason for the delay in my blogging is that my human went to St. Louis for a couple of days and took the laptop with her! She went to stay with Sarah after she had her second Covid shot in case she didn't feel well. Apparently she didn't feel well.
I don't know why my human had to go when Sarah obviously had her favorite quilt and cat to offer their healing powers.
My human took some small sewing projects to work on.
Of course, I was on hand to help her prep some small projects to take. I supervised the fabric selection for the mystery quilt from laundry basket quilts she is working on.
When she got back home, I was surprised at how little she had accomplished.
These are 12" table toppers. Apparently she sewed several things incorrectly and had to do some ripping. What do you expect when you try to sew without the supervision of your best sewing cat!
Stay tuned for track meet results tomorrow!
