Carter and three of his buddies participated in an indoor track meet today and had so much fun. I'm not sure any of them knew what an actual track meet was, but they were rip roarin' ready to go and jumped in with both feet!
The first event they did was a softball throw. I had to chuckle when I saw how much room they had given the kids, knowing the arm Carter has on him. Needless to say, he hit the back wall a couple of times! He wasn't the only one either as he ended up taking second place.
Austin was too old to participate, but he sure had fun helping out. He got to measure for the softball throw, retrieve balls, and hold the string for the end of the running races.
The 40 meter dash earned him a second place finish. He truly didn't stand a chance against his best little buddy who is a tiny little speedster!
Hurdles were hilarious! They were a piece of cake for Carter as they were only 12 inches tall. He barely had to break stride :) He got third place in the hurdles.
"The Posse" was the team name for him and his friends in the 4x100 relay. This was the event they were so excited for and had been practicing their hand-offs for the past couple of days. They ended up taking second place in the relay.
An awards ceremony was held after each of the events which was so fun to watch. There was such a positive atmosphere to the event and all abilities were celebrated. The four of them are excited for the other two that will be held this spring.
