02.04.2012: Drake's Second Track Meet

Today was Drake's second track meet.  This was also a developmental meet at the same high school in Mesa.  Mom and Dad were in town so they could come to Drake's meet as well as Andrew's football game.  So they came to the meet for a while, and got to see Drake race in his 55m race...then they left to go to Andrew's flag football game.  Talk about fitting it all in!!!  :)

Drake competed in the same 3 events...the 55m (instead of the 100m), the 200m, and the long jump.  In the long jump, he went to the finals, and placed 5th overall, which is not bad for only his second time jumping ever!  (They hadn't practiced it at all during practice...so it was really good!)  In the 55m, he placed 3rd in his heat...which was the fastest heat of the competition.  In the 200m, he came in 2nd in his heat, with his best eprsonal time so far.
