Track Starts

Nyssa had their first track meet at the Ontario Ice Breaker on March 18th.  Kacie didn't do too bad for her first meet of the year.  She ran the 100m and got 11th with a time of 14.73.  Got 5th in the long jump at 13'5'' and 6th in the triple at 26'2''.  She also ran the 4x400 and they got 6th with a time of 5:10.4.

After the meet Steele sent Kacie another breakup text so Kacie was all upset again.  You would think she would get used to this.  I was glad Jocelyn was with us so she could help cheer her up.  She stayed with us a couple of nights while her parents took Allie to the MTC.  Kacie didn't sleep well and so she missed a couple of periods of schools and was very emotional all day and so she wasn't up to track practice either.  I was so worried about her that I called one of the school counselors to talk to her.  Kacie was very mad I did that but then she said she really helped her. Kacie went with Mom to take Jocelyn to her gymnastics in Nampa.  While she was at practice the two of them went to see Dee and Jeannetta Garner in the Hospital. Mom said she was really impressed with how well Kacie handled herself with them and was really engaged in the conversation.  Kacie later told me how much she enjoyed it.  This was one situation where missing track practice was better for her.  Service always makes you feel better.  I shared this quote for Kacie on instagram.  I LOVE this...so good!

Thursday March 20th, Kacie was working on hand-offs in the 4x100 and the girl ran right up on her and they got their legs tangled and Kacie did a faceplant on the track.  Her coach said it was bad but also couldn't help from laughing.  I felt bad this happened the day before her next meet.

Friday, March 21st, Kacie had a meet at Harper and Scott was in charge of the timers.  He was so proud of his door that they decorated at the school that he had to show us.  All the teachers had a contest where they were suppose to decorate their door with a college mascot.  Everyone else did big time schools and he chose the Fighting Pickles.  He is such a nut.

Kacie's leg was hurting her so bad that she scratched the open 400 and the triple jump.  In the long jump she got 5th again with 13'8" and she ran in the 4x100 and they got 3rd with a time of 57.68.  Taylor spent the night with us so she could go too.

After the meet we went to Pizza Hut and when we were headed back to Nyssa, Sydney and Jocelyn called and invited Kacie and I to the movies.  We went to see Divergent.  It was fun!  It must have been a good movie to keep me awake I was so tired.
