Youth Girls - 4 x 100 Meter Relay to the Starting Line
Preparing for the First Leg
Checking the Starting Blocks
With the temperature in the high 90s and a crowd of 10,000 people, Jayne and her 4 x 100 meter relay team ran their fastest time this season, with a 51.15 second finish in the semi-finals. Their time earned a 19th place finish, which is amazing to know that these 13 and 14 year old girls are in the top twenty 4 x 100 relay teams in the nation. There were nearly 60 relay teams in this age group competing at the National Junior Olympics, and all teams had to qualify in two prior meets to qualify for Des Moines.
Jayne ran the first leg of the relay in Lane 4. Click here for the video.
Thank you to everyone for their support and encouragement. It meant a lot to Jayne, Mark, and me. The Indoor Track Season begins after Thanksgiving, and we will start posting this winter.
