Ammon Track

The junior high just finished their track season. It was a rough season, because of the weather. They had two meets canceled because of rain and snow, and lots of times they had to practice inside, which didn't do the kids much good. Ammon ran the 200 meter, 4 x 100 relay, and experimented with throwing the discus, long jump, shot put, and the 4 x 400 relay. There was a definite lack of coaching, so he wasn't able to learn how to do anyone thing very well. That's ok though, because Ammon runs track for the social aspect. He just wants to have fun!

Here he is with some of his boys.

This is Ammon running the 4 x 100 relay. The funny thing about this picture is that right as he made the hand off, he fell and rolled over!!



Ammon could have done really well at the long jump if anyone had been able to teach him the correct way to do it. At the one meet he tried, he jumped almost 18 feet, which would have been a winning distance, but he scratched every time. We can't wait until next year when he can get some good coaching.
