Elementary School Track meet

I went to the All-city Elementary School Track Meet at North Whidbey Middle School Saturday morning, and what a beautiful day it was for track!

It wasn't a competitive meet, more of a get-away-from-in-front-of-the-TV type event, and it worked! Over 120 kids from the area elementary schools participated in high jump, long jump, javelin, softball throw, 800 meter run, sprint and hurdle races.

Each student got to attempt any event they wished in any order they wanted, and could take up to 3 attempts at each event if they so chose. Most did.

I took almost 500 images, of which over 200 of the best were posted to the site below:

For privacy, there are no names or school attached to any of the photos, so you have to scroll through them all to find photos of your child.

I did not attempt, and it was not possible to get, photos of every child in every event. For example, there are no photos of the sprint race and very few of the softball throw, mainly due to sun position. Also, there was only one photographer, and I could not be everywhere. If I missed your child, the only reason I did so is I was not pointing the camera in his/her direction when there was a photographic moment, or the photo was out of focus or otherwise of poor quality.

Enjoy the photos.
