Issaquah Gliders


 
Better late than never, right?  Looking over my pictures I came across these of the kids in their Gliders Track club this summer.  In my blog hiatus over the summer they were missed!

 
This was so much fun for kids.  Something that they could all participate in at the same time.  Cameron is our long distance man, Julia is a sprinter and Nat tells us she likes the shot put!

 
Julia was amazing this year with her long legs.  She pretty much won every race she was in.  She still appears to be a running giraffe.  Mitch is convinced that if Cameron and Julia were put in a sprint race head to head that Julia could beat Cameron.  But we won't tell him that!

 
The Gliders have kept records of the fastest times for kids in different age groups.  Cameron, of course wants to be on the record books as number #1.  He worked hard each meet to break the mile record of 6:00, but missed it by just one second.  Each meet he ran in he would run the 400, 800, and the mile, talk about a serious runner!

 
Lucy, of course was in it for the treats!

 
Mitch's Alumni mile was in the last week of August.  Mitch told him he could run in it with him and he would help pace him to finally beat 6:00 minutes.  He ran it in 5:58!!
