Time Trials in the Snow

The Cascade Striders had a mini-track meet for the athletes on Saturday to get them used to running in a meet. I ran the shot put pit. I told the coaches and parents that my pit was "open" and the athletes could participate at any time. I had to teach them all how to put shot and I am not very good. The track events were plagued with snow, wind, and hail. The track had puddles in it. The kids froze. Yofiel had a great time and put some amazing times in. His mile time was top three in his age category. The parents and coaches did a great job running the events on time.
