Krista had a huge improvement in long jump and she placed 7th out of about 50 girls. Last competition she jumped 3.10 m and this time she jumped 3.62 meters! This is such a great improvment for her. She was thrilled with her result as this put her in 1st place in her club for the long jump.
Her 2nd best event was a 5th place position (out of about 40 participants) in the shot-put. She had previously thrown 5.16 meters and bumped it up to 5.95 meters! Also a great improvment for her.
She ran in the 1000 meter race and improved on her time by 8 seconds. She went from 4"23 to 4"15! She was happy with her overall performance, but the distance run was very hard for her heel. She said that next competition she would rather run the 50 meter race or 50 meter hurdles.
Finally, she also participated in a relay. Her relay team placed 3rd with all 8 lanes filled. Krista ran 1st position and although it was tough on her foot, I think she did wonderfully! I saw a statistic on the site that there were over 70 girl participants.
The season is coming to a close. There is a select event that is coming up (the department competition), and Krista is waiting to see if she will be selected. She would really love to participate, but we will have to wait and see if she is invited. All in all it has been a fun and learning experience for Krista. I'm so happy to see her enjoying this sport. This morning she was thrilled to see her name mentioned on the Club's website among 5 others of her age group, congratulating them for their scores yeterday. Her friend Clara placed 2nd place in the 50 m sprint out of over 50 girls!
As usual I was in my hayday with pictures. I am just so anxious to get a nice sports zoom lens so I can really dig into quality sports photography. I had to take these with my portrait lens, but I was still happy to have captured their fun and action!
