Track Day 2013

East Elementary celebrates the end of the school year with Track Day.  It is a big track meet filled with lots of fun events for all the kiddos.  They split the school into two groups, K-1 and 2-3.  Each child participates in two events.  Gannon was assigned to compete in the snow cone races and the 100-meter- dash.  Here are a few photos and videos from the day.

First up was the snow cone race.

And we got a first place ribbon!

It is really hard work to be in the cheering section for all this stuff ;)

I had to stand too far back (100 meters, to be exact) to get a before picture of Gannon at his race, but here is a video of him running.

And here he is with another first place ribbon!



This is Gannon and his friend, Annaliece.  She is the one screaming for him in the video ;)  Turns out, her dad is from Lake Charles, and his aunt teaches with Mom at Lewis!  Such a small world!

These two placed first in both their events, and they were super proud!

She was so good the whole time...But then again, she always is :)
