Dallin's track meet

This year Dallin decided to join his junior high track team. This is the first year that Dallin has run on a track team. Like Danny, he has participated in the annual track meets through grade school, but he never expressed interest in pursuing the sport of track...until now. I'm still not certain he'll continue, but I think it's great that he is trying it out this year. Dallin is participating in the longer distance races (e.g., 400 and 800 races). Like Danny (actually more so), Dallin has incredible speed, but doesn't quite have the lengthy stride that some of the other boys do because of their height. Still, Dallin has incredible heart and determination, which has placed him in the top spots for his races. He is fast! He is learning how to pace himself and how to perfect his stride. This was the first opportunity I had to watch him race. It was fun to cheer him on! I look forward to going to a few more meets before his season ends.
