Pineview Invitational

Courtney was asked to compete in the Varsity track meet at Pineview High School. We didn't anticipate her running in the varsity track meets but they need more people to compete so, here we are.

It's nice because she has friends who are running also so they support each other and have fun together.  They ran in the 100-meters and 200-meter sprints.  Courtney has been having shin splints and her quad has been hurting her so she didn't run as fast as the last meet, but she did well.  I taped her shins before the race and that seemed to help somewhat.  After the final race, she went and got ice from the trainer for her quad.  The bag had a slight hole so it leaked down her leg which caused the girls to giggle uncontrollably.  They have so much fun together and are such good friends.

Here they are warming up, Courtney is on the right:

They were in different heats so they waited and cheered each other on:

And they did that at every race:

The cute girls: Emma, Anna, Courtney, and Sammie.

Courtney running the 100 meters:

The four girls asked their coach if he would teach them to do the 4x100 relay so they can run in the JV track meet.  He is such a great coach and was very willing to teach them so they will be doing that in the next JV meet.  The four of them are pretty excited.  

The girls were on the same club soccer team and 3 of them played soccer together on the SCHS team when they were freshmen.  They were in the group Courtney convinced to play basketball their freshman year and now she convinced them to run track.  They are hilarious to be around too.
