Jack competed in his first track meet. It was rainy and cold, but he did really, really well.
His first competition was on the first leg of the 4x100 meter relay.
His team took second place for his age group!
His siblings were watching from the top, up by the press box...
We were at MY high school (Timpanogos), so that helped Jack feel familiar. It was rainy and cold, about 50 degrees outside. Our track coach was hosting, but Jack is training with the Pleasant Grove team because we live just half a mile from Pleasant Grove High School (which is a straight shot down the hill).
Jack's second event was the standing long jump. His first jump was 5'2".
His second jump was 4'11".
His third jump was 6'1".
There's something to be said for those long, long Phippen legs. He's actually training to do the running long jump, but he couldn't compete in that event.
His last event was the 100m.
Where he's shown here finishing 2nd...
Not bad for his very first track meet! Two second places, and an awesome long jump!
