Waukesha, Wisconsin
Click here to view a video of the 100 Meter Finals. Jayne is in a blue uniform, fifth lane.
This is the first competitive track meet Jayne participated in since joining the Milwaukee Mustangs Track Club. We were all very nervous because we knew that Jayne would have competition for the first time and be running against 13 and 14-year old girls mainly from Wisconsin, but also from Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota.
Results:
5th Place - 100 Meter Dash among 51 entrants
3rd Place - 200 Meter Dash with 62 entrants
1st Place - 4 x 100 Meter Relay
Jayne qualified in all three events and progresses to the Junior Olympics Regionals occurring July 11th and 12th in Omaha, Nebraska. The amazing thing to note is that she was the only entrant in the dashes that did not use starting blocks, because she hadn't learned the skill yet. It did cost her some time, but she did an amazing job. Her coaches said this will be the last time she runs without the blocks. Head Coach Ray Hale said, "Jayne is the real deal."
The top three qualifiers in Omaha will move on to Junior Olympics Nationals in Greensboro, North Carolina beginning July 29th. The Omaha regionals consist of teams from six states, so it will be very tough to qualify this year.
