Nick Smith, track star

My brother is a rookie tracklete.  He's graduating in six or seven weeks and finally in the last semester of his last year of high school decided to go out for a sport:  track.  So many texts went around the family this week to make sure that as many members as possible could be there for his track meet today.  I must say, it was pretty amusing.  But it was a great day and all of us were slightly sunburned the better for it, with a minor case of bleacher brain to boot.

I got some good pictures of him.  He ran in two events (the 4x100 meter relay and the 4x800 meter relay).  His team is not that great... today his relay team tied for 4th place out of 8 or 9 in the 4x100.  And then they got killed in the 4x800 lol.  But it's been a really great experience for him to be a part of.

Anyway, below are some of the best shots.  Grandma will appreciate these... :)

The relay pass...      ...and then we went out for ice cream after it was all over :)

 Awww... :)
