Had an emotional day starting with the funeral of one of the sweetest ladies I know, Sally Holmes Walker. She is an amazing person and made everyone feel like they were the most important in her life. The funeral was so good. I loved how Jeff (her son) put a fun spin on her life and told about all the bad things about her. It was so entertaining. She also had a nephew (Tyler Walker) sing a beautiful song with the guitar that he wrote just for her. Everyone on the program did wonderful. She will be greatly missed. After the funeral we went to Brook and Brittany's State Track meet in Eagle. It was so exciting to watch them. The only problem is that it was so crowded, we were packed in like sardines.
Brittany 100m dash 11.95aw 1st
Brittany 200m dash 24.87aw 3rd
Brooke 800m dash 2:21a 5th
Brittany's 4x100 relay 48.14 1st
Brooke & Brittany's 4x400 relay 3.58 1st
It was hard not to choke back the tears as we watched them. I felt bad for Brooke because she had the 2nd fastest time in the 800m in the state with 2:16, but she got boxed in and couldn't break out so that is why she got 5th. Before their 4x400 relay their girl's team was in 2nd and so they knew they had to win to get 1st. Brooke ran the second leg and she looked really strong and got them a good lead then I don't know how Brittany pulled it off but she barely beat the girl next to her then just collapsed at the finish line. A girl from behind us was recruiting from Utah State was very impressed and I even heard her say "Wow that takes a lot of heart." Needless to say we were all teary eyed. Good job Brooke and Brittany we are so proud of you!
