Thursday afternoon in the HOT sun, Carter had his second and Addison's first district wide Elementary School track meet at Heroes Stadium. They both were selected to run the long 800m event! Carter ran with the same group of 3 from last year - Mateo and Sebastian and paced himself really well staying in the middle until half way through the last lap and turning it on BIG time to pass 5 people for a 3rd place overall out of 30 5th grade boys finishing with a time of 2 min & 34 seconds - behind Mateo in first and another boy from a different school in 2nd!
Addison did an incredible job not getting "sucked in" and paced herself beautifully during her first ever track experience. She fished strong at around 7th or 8th place and told us that she could have given a little bit more and turned in on earlier in the last long straight away rather than waiting all the way until the last curve.
The following day, they announced the winners of the school wide all year long - Runner's Club. Carter won 3rd place out of 5th grade boys, scoring himself a cook new special edition R.F.P.E. shirt in a lime green.
