Abi Track and Field

 Abi has been on the South Davis Track Team.  She was on the Track team last year and ran the mile.  This year she is a thrower. She is throwing the Discus, the shotput and the long jump.  She practices hard every day.  Today at the track meet, she threw the discus 67 feet 9 inches.  Wow.  She PR'd all her events today.  (personal record).  She was soo excited.  The shotput she threw 20 feet.  The last shot putter we had in our family was Melanie.  (that's Maureen's sister)  She threw shotput for like 3 years in high school.  She went to District and came in DEAD last.  She said 'Maureen, last, did you hear?  last.  Not second to last, but last"  She was soo funny about it.  Abi didn't even come close to last.  Although I think being last is better than not being there at all.  It is fun to go to the track meet to see all the kids I teach doing their best at track and working hard!  Abi should make it to south end.  She reminds us Mrs Trenchbol from Matilda that throws a shotput on the chain...hahah
