Do you hear that?
It's the eye of the tiger,
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Bwahahaa! Oh yeah, baby! Guess who had her first track meet of all time!?! And, guess who ROCKED it out!?! That would be Summer!
So, yeah, I got to go to it, and I brought my camera, OF COURSE! I was hoping to inflict a little embarrassment on the girl since her mom couldn't be there and all, but she played it pretty cool. I'm pretty confident that I did embarrass her on some level, but she wouldn't let on. So, yeah, I didn't feel that satisfaction.
Anyway, Summer ran the 800 meter relay, the 200 meter, and the 1600 meter relay. I only got to see the 800 meter relay because, well... track meets take FORever. BUT, Summer ran the final leg of the relay, so it was super exciting for me. She was MEGA nervous beforehand. She admitted that. She may deny it now that she's a rock star, but she really was. Here are some "before" shots: (this first one's my fave.)
Like I said, she was the last leg, so it made it more exciting for me. This girl is F.A.S.T! I'm sure you're supposed to measure the magnitude of the wins in seconds, not feet, but, ummm... I'm no good at that. I have NO concept of time. So, I'm going with how far AHEAD Summer looked compared to the rest of the girls. Ha! I'm gonna guess that she came in a good 12 feet in front of the second place girl. That's right... Summer brought it home for the big win! Woot! So, here she is approaching the finish line:
And crossing the finish line...
Way to go, Trooper! You made me proud! :-) But, hey, even if you hadn't won, I still woulda been proud of your mad runnin' skillz. Unfortunately you cannot be as cool as me. With my... "you know, like numchuck skillz, bow huntin' skillz, computer hackin' skillz..." :-) Keep at it, though.
Love ya, Summer!

Great news about the win! Great pictures too! She looks particularly beautiful in the second picture. And what a great shot with both feet off the ground!
Sweet! I can only see the second and third pics but they're great! Great job Summer!
Wow, these shots are awesome!!! Big congratulations to her, she's gotta love these pics!!
Awesome pix! Congrats to her!!!
OMG! It's amazing that we come from the same parents... with you being such a huge DORK (with the choice of song lyrics and Napoleon quotes) and me being so cool and all!!! Bwahaha!
Anyway, way cool pics! I don't know what was up with her hair???, but the pics are awesome! I showed (i.e. bragged to) all my students and they all thought the pictures were really cool as well! They loved the first because of the track in the background, and the one where she's running and both feet are off the ground. One of them also informed me that she's just got "track meet hair" and that's it's supposed to look messy like that... guess I'm out of the loop as far as track meet fashion goes! Anyway, awesome job! I love 'em!
oh, and by the way, they (my students) wanted to see more of your pics, and they said "they don't even look real... they look like out of a magazine or something"... I'm not really sure how to take that comment, but they were clearly impressed! They especially loved the China pics and the one of Emma jumping off the curb.
OMG, I love Maya, she is so cute!
