Track, and Fields

My eldest niece is quite the track athlete, in addition to her many other talents. As luck would have it, this year's OFSAA provincial track and field championships were being held at our end of the province, in Windsor.

She ran the anchor leg of the 4x100m relay, though they did not advance past their heat. The team was off to a good start and in a position to challenge, but by the time she got the baton they were at the back of the field. Still, she pulled them up to 6th, and got to experience the atmosphere. Most importantly to her - she came, she ran (her personal best 100m time), she got the official hoodie sweatshirt!

Great excuse for a visit with 4/5 of the family, as my middle niece had to stay back in eastern Ontario for her own extra-curricular activity. Perfect weather for some wine around a bonfire!

Lane 8 on the far left....but too much ground to make up!

No quit in this young lady
