My Sister is a Star!

This weekend my little sister ran at BYU for the High School Track meet. Friday was the trials and Jen ran the 400 m dash (once around the track) in both the medley relay and the 4x400 relay. Her team did awesome! In the medley they took first place!! In the 4x400 meter relay they were ranked 9th or 10th and had to place in the top 9 in order to make it to the finals on Saturday. They kicked it in gear and pushed themselves really hard putting them in 5th place for the finals!

Saturday they did Amazing! Jen's team ran the medley(which consists of 200 m, 200 m, 400 m and 800 m dashes). Jen got a personal record running her 400 m dash in 60 seconds flat! They took second place in the 5A state championship run! AMAZING! They were so close to the 1st place team that it was a photo finish! They ran the 4x400 m dash(four girls run around the track once each) just an hour after the medley race. They took sixth place in that which is really good. Jen ran even faster in the 4x400 m dash! She ran it in 59.6 seconds!

The girls team took second place overall for the meet just behind Spanish Fork who has a pair of twins that took in just about 80 points for their team(which is a lot!). It stinks when just a few girls can win the meet. Davis was just a few points behind them.

The Davis boys team were able to take first place overall.

Congratulations Davis High Track! and my sister JEN!

*sidenote...this is Jenny's first year running track and it is quite amazing she was able to run at state with only the outdoor season to better herself. WAY TO GO JEN! YOU ROCK!
