Kristen invited me to join her in watching Manheim Central’s Track and Field Day.
The event began with the Pledge of Allegiance
Jared sat on the bleachers with friends until he was called to the high jump.
It reminded me of the days (long ago) when I enjoyed doing the high jump in grade school.
It was a great day for a track and field competition – slightly cloudy and cool.
He tied for 3rd place by clearing 50 inches.
There were students in every area of the field – decked out in a large variety of colors.
Jared also competed in the shot put.
He was the winner and even broke a 6th grade shot put record when he threw it 35.9 feet.
Good job, Jared.
Thanks Jared and Kristen for inviting me.
I haven’t been to a track and field day since our children competed.
Great job, Jares! Track meets are great fun to watch!
I did enjoy it – and it was a beautiful day.
A special note for Jared — many apologies for the typo in your name!
No problem. 🙂
Your grandson has an appropriate name for what he does! Our boys played soccer and our daughter ran cross country – it seems it was always muddy when she ran and her outfit was so much fun to wash!! You’re a good grandma to be so involved and supportive of those young people.
I agree with the appropriate name. 🙂 I love being involved in our grandchildren’s lives.
