track n field 2012

friday brought jefferson's annual track n field day

for ben and drew

and

it was a BEAUTIFUL day for it!

i was able to enjoy the entire day at school

still not feeling the greatest

BUT

a powerade in my hand

and

the best surprise of the morning by my side

the morning started with the individual events

they are allowed to choose from a list of events

and then they spend their morning

working their way through each event that they selected

 
drew's friends

the individual tug of war -
ben won all 3

the obstacle course

the running long jump

the 50m dash

the lions at the football throw

the hurdles

team lightning

100m dash

ben's friends

3MC

the 5th graders and mr. enerson

the 200m

jordie and ben

 

even alex's class got out to enjoy the day!
they didn't get to compete in any events ...
but they cheered for a few,
played outside for a while,
and then had a movie party!!


after finishing their morning events
the classes ate lunch
took a little break from the heat
and then returned for some heated classroom team events

3MC ROCKED the tug of war
1ST PLACE CHAMPIONS!!!

they also did great at the shuttle relay
but came in 3rd

5EN also fell a little short in the shuttle relay
and came in 4th

but showed that what they were lacking in speed
they had in strength
they completed dominated the tug of war
winning each heat in about 10 seconds flat
guess that's what happens when you have 1/2 a football team's
offensive line in one class ;)
WAY TO GO 5EN!!

the boys had a GREAT day
they were each really happy with how they did

 

and more importantly they had a fun day with friends

nice job, boys!!
and alex ...
next year it's your turn ...
and i can't wait!!
