Carter throws the discus in his first track meet.
Caleb & Corbin anxiously await Carter as he races in the 800 meter.
Go Carter! (He's the racer in yellow).
This school year has been an eventful one for Carter. He ventured out of his comfort zone and found a new love, football. Wanting to improve his skills on the field, he consulted with his coach who suggested he go out for wrestling and then track. He completed the wrestling season and has spent the last couple of weeks practicing track. We have seen a big improvement in Carter's speed and strength and have thoroughly enjoyed watching him participate in athletics. As our blog reflects, his love for sports has been contagious to the rest of our family. This week was his first track meet. He signed up to do the discus, the 800 meter, and at the suggestion of his coach, the 100 meter. It was so exciting watching these events! When he was about to start the 800 meter, Chase kept saying, "I'm so nervous. I'm so nervous." The day before his meet the weather was alternating between hail, rain and black skies. Luckily, on the day of the meet it was sunny and almost warm.

Go Carter! How exciting!!! I can relate to Chase. There is something about a track meet. Maybe it's that ALL eyes are on individuals- not so much a team group. We hope there are a few meets left in the season when we return.
Oh, and my brother said there was a sea of blue and orange in his lobby this weekend- as the Boise State track team is staying there!
Way to go, Carter! You are turning into a decathlon man. You are setting a great example for your brothers too. We are very proud of you.
way cool! he looks so old.
