The One Where Bri is in the Record Books

 

Earlier today at school, I was talking about Bri to one of my students (who I also had in 5th grade).

 The student said, "Oh, I didn't know you had a daughter."

To which I replied, shockingly, "You had me in fifth grade and you forgot?"

She asked about Bri and I said, if you look up her name and Danvers High School, you might find a picture.

 While she was having trouble finding the name, I decided to look Bri up...and I find out something super cool. As a member of the DHS track team last year, she actually made their record book, kept by Max Preps.

In the 100 meter dash, as a junior, she ranks in the top 20 all time with her score from last year, as you can see below.

 

Even cooler was the fact that she is in the junior record book as well, with a record that will probably stick for a while.  Needless to say, I was super proud!!!
 

The One With Kiff's Track Meet

 

 

Although it was May 20, amid a dark sky with some light rain, Kiff had his last middle school track meet today. This was the first year Kiff did track in middle school and certainly won't be his last.

 The middle school track year is only a few meets long - 5 in fact. While Kiff missed two when he was sick, he did take part in three, developing a hankering for three different events:

 

• 100 m dash

• long jump

• relay

 

Today, he wrapped up a solid first season by finishing in the middle of the pack in the 100 m dash and by jumping a record (for him) 12 feet in the long jump.

 

Congrats on a great first year, Kiff.
