This morning was Hershey Track. This is the first place we've been that participates in it and Stephanie went for it. She has had practice 2-3 times a week for the last couple of months. She chose to run the 400 meter race because you have longer to run and have time to catch up and pass people. She did really well. When they staggered the runners, Stephanie was second from last. They were about a third of the way around the track and she was in last place. I was thinking that perhaps this wasn't her forte. She continued for the next little bit in last place and then it was the last part of the race and she put some pep in her step. She passed one girl and caught up to a classmate and then passed her. She took third for the heat with a time of 1:38. She did better than her best time by 3 seconds. Awesome!
