If it's Saturday, it must be time for another youth track meet.
This was the last weekend of
VCYTC regular season meets
The Cosmos were on the
road today against . . .
. . . Moorpark Striders
Moorpark H.S. has one of Ventura
County's best track facilities
I hate to admit that I was out of position for Mary's first event of the day, the 4 x 100 Meters Relay. She has been running the third leg but today she was the leadoff runner. I was completely out of position to watch her run.
Sorry, Mary.
Her team ran a 1:32.44 today.
Jacob did run the third leg of
his 4 x 100 Meters Relay
The Cosmos were expecting strong
opposition from the Moorpark team
Unfortunately for the Striders, they dropped the baton on the first exchange.
The Cosmos won the race with a time of 58.23 which was 0.70 seconds faster than their seasonal best.

Jacob's take-off . . .
. . . turned into a Kung Fu kick?
Where's Jacob?
As I write this, the Cosmos website still has not posted any Long Jump results.
Mary's friend, Paisley, was styling!
They're off in the 100 Meters Dash!
It was a tight race
I'm happy to report that Mary ran an all-time PR of 18.41 today, an improvement of 0.46 seconds.
Mary's final event of the day
was the 200 Meters Dash
She finished with a time of 43.18
Jacob's 200 Meters Dash
was a good one
He won his race in record time
He got a PR with a time of 29.90, that was 0.39 seconds faster than his previous best.
On to the 4 x 400 Meters Relay

The win for the team was yet another seasonal best, 4:46.37, a whopping improvement of 5.95 seconds.
Another good day of track for both Jacob and Mary.
Next Saturday, Mary will compete in the VCYTC's Junior Varsity Finals at Newbury Park H.S.
Jacob's next meet will be in two weeks at Camarillo H.S. in the VCYTC's Varsity Finals.
