Greenville Invitational

Our first big invitational meet of the year against schools that were 2-3 times our size.

Both our girls and boys teams won!!! We won with 171 over Beavercreek (a school that is 4 times our size), who had 165.5. I scored 15 of the team points!! 6 in shot put, 6 in discus, and 3 in triple jump!! I got more points than 4 of the TEAMS in attendance! 

Discus went so much better than the first meet with a throw of 91'6" which placed me 3rd out of 27 throwers! 

On to triple jump

I literally have not even done a single run through since the indoor meet and pulled off a 27'4.75" for 6th place. I only did 2 jumps, because I was trying to shot put at the same time. 

Mom just loves the smile on my face in this one. 

I ran from triple jump to shot put with zero warm ups and threw 28'11.5"  for 3rd place out 23! I decided to skip the spin this week to get points for the team.
