The last track meet
This a post about Paul. It is a long post and it has lots of pictures. This is a post about Paul in his last track meet of the year. It's the JV conference meet. He ran varsity all his other meets, but for conference, the varsity team needed only four distance runners and he was #5. Paul didn't seem to mind. I didn't either.
This is Paul with his JV track friends. They like to hang out together in the middle of the field.
This is Paul and the other milers approaching the starting line. Can they all find their places?
This is Paul achieving lift off. Paul, this is a running race, not a flying race! Get back on the ground!
The boys start to run! Run, boys, run! See them run. They are running fast.
This is Paul passing up two of his teammates. Go, team, go!
Paul is all by himself. Poor Paul. Is he lonely? Run fast, Paul!
Paul ran. Paul ran fast. He came in first. Hooray for Paul! Here is Paul as he crosses the finish line.
This is Paul as he waits for the two mile race. He looks like a bendy straw, doesn't he?
This is Paul as he warms up by the goal post. He is not doing ballet. He is preparing to run.
Paul doesn't dance ballet and he doesn't kick a football either. But sometimes he looks like he does both. Kick your legs high, Paul!
This is the start of the two mile race. Some people call it the 3200m. No matter how you say it, it is still a long way to run. Paul has to run eight times around the track. Can you count to eight? Good!
Paul is in front for most of the race, but not by much. Three other boys follow him closely. Will Paul stay in first? Will the other boys pass him up? Run fast, Paul!
Paul ran fast, but one boy ran faster at the end. Paul came in second. We are still happy about second place! Hooray for Paul. Here is Paul as he crosses the finish line. I bet he is glad to be done running. Three miles in one day is a lot of running!
Paul is tired after running so much. He wants to take a nap. Some of his friends are there to tell him that he did a good job. It is good to have friends.
Now Paul can finally stand up. He looks mad. But he isn't mad. This is Paul's happy grimace. He's happy he came in second place. Congratulations Paul! We hope you had fun in track this year!
