Carroll College - Waukesha, Wisconsin
As the meet was getting started, a severe thunderstorm with lightning rolled in. About 2,000 people had to evacuate the track and spend an hour in Carroll College's fieldhouse. The track was very wet, which slowed the athletes down a bit. Many of the athletes were from Wisconisn, but we also had quite a few entries from Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa teams.
Jayne earned her first win in a club individual event today with a first in the 100 meter dash! Take a look at the video of this race. Jayne also took second in the 200 meter dash, and the 4 x 100 relay team, anchored by Jayne, placed second. Video of the relay.
We are leaving this Friday for Minneapolis for the AAU National Qualifier Meet, where Jayne will run the same three races. This is a very important meet - only the top four finishers in each event qualify to participate in the National Junior Olympic Games in Norfolk, Virginia.

Conference Meet
May 27, 2010
This was the last track meet for Jayne in middle school. She ran two 100 legs and a 200 leg in relays which alternated between boys and girls running. It wasn't as successful as last year's conference, but the 4 x 100 relay earned a second place medal. Jayne also long jumped. VIDEOS: Long Jump 1 Long Jump 2 4 x 100 Relay Sprint Medley 4 x 200 Relay

Jayne came in first in the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes tonight. That means that Jayne placed first in every event she ran this season and broke four school records! (Three of those school records were her own.) Jayne will be leaving middle school with the school records in the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes.
She competed in the long jump three times and placed 1st once and 2nd twice. To see one of her long jumps, click here.

Same events as last night. 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes and the long jump. Four first place finishes. Jayne broke her 100 meter dash record for the second night in a row (third time this season), with a time of 12.84 seconds! Four high school conference meets were held around Milwaukee last night, and this time would have won two of those meets! Jayne tied her 400 meter record from last night. And, with her second time long jumping, she improved her distance by more than a foot and won. The last regular season track meet is Monday, May 24th, against Sussex Templeton. This meet was rescheduled from May 11th, which was rained out. 100 Video 200 Video 400 Video In the 400 video, Jayne is third after rounding the first corner, then after the second and third corners she takes off!

Germantown vs. Mequon Lake Shore
May 17, 2010
What a great night! Rather than running the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays, Jayne's coaches decided to challenge her by entering her into the 400 meter dash and the long jump. The coaches thought Jayne would break the 400 meter record, so that she would hold the school records for the 100, 200, and 400. They were right! With Jayne's first time running the 400, she broke the school record. She also broke her 100 record for the second time this season, with a time of 12.9 seconds. (100 Video) She went on to win the 200 for a total of three 1st place finishes tonight. (200 Video) It was the first time Jayne participated in the long jump, and she placed second. The next meet is tomorrow night.
