Jacob's 6th Grade Track Season

 

Jacob had an exciting and successful 6th grade track season!  

He made it to state and medaled, pretty rare for a 6th grader!

I don't think it was on anyone's radar that the 7th grade boys would win county!  Jacob and Cayden were the only ones there to receive the plaque because they were waiting on their 8th grade sisters, who we knew had won.  It was a fun surprise!

Our youth minister, Ethan, there to watch him:

State send-off:

This relay was so exciting!  We were not expecting to qualify, let alone medal.... and 3rd place!  Jacob was the final leg and made up some time.  It was so fun!!

Coach Webb had them working on their handoffs all week, and it paid off:
