First Club Track Meet of the Summer

USATF District Qualifier
June 16, 2012
Carroll University - Waukesha, WI

Jayne is now with the Hawks Track Club and competed in her first USA Track & Field meet of the summer. She placed 1st in her preliminary heat of the 100m dash (Lane 2, wearing black with a pink waistband on her shorts).  Listen to the crowd, and you can hear someone say "Wow" as she went through the finish line!  In the pouring rain, Jayne took 3rd in the 100m finals.  She placed 3rd in her heat for the 200m dash (Lane 3), which ended up being 3rd overall.  Of the 4 heats of the 200, her heat was by far the fastest.

Jayne earned two more medals and qualified for the USATF Region VII Junior Olympics at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh July 7th and 8th.  At that meet, Jayne will need to place in the top five in each event in order to qualify for National Junior Olympics in Baltimore, Maryland.
