2012 Season
Wednesday May 16th Track Meet:
On May 16th, the Elementary/Middle School Track team ventured to St Francis for the 89th annual PSAA track and field meet. The track and field gods were certainly on our side that morning; the sun was burning bright fueling us with Vitamin D and keeping all our muscles warm and ready for competition. We took a squad of about 20 little warriors to compete against a bunch of other schools. Our athletes were a little nervous to see all the competition and loaded bleachers (fans may have been wearing different colors, but we know they were really there to support SMSD), but that couldn’t stop us from success! The coaches and their assisting staff members came prepared with walkie-talkies, clip boards and pockets full of encouragement for our little soldiers; we take competition seriously!
The meet started off with the 300 meter relay. Our Baby Bison were missing a few key members but managed to put a team out there for almost every age group. Everyone tried their best, many were out of their age group. We only had one relay team advance to the finals, but did not place… had to give the other schools a chance and keep the fans interested!
Next, there were three events running simultaneously. Representing SMSD at the softball throw was Baylen, Ryan and Jasmine. This was Ryan first meet and he did very well! Baylen came very close to the final round coming in 4th place and Jasmine threw into the finals and received a ribbon for 3rd place! Jamila and Criss were long jumping for SMSD. This event was for 15 years and under, while Criss leapt his little self for a PR he was not able to match the older boys. Jamila on the other hand jumped far enough to receive 3rd place ribbon. There was a ton of kids participating in the 75 meter sprint. Lines were backed up a quarter of the way around the track. The clouds began to roll in. The competition in all the age groups was neck and neck, a little rain couldn’t cease our efforts! All of our athletes put in 100% and earned respect. Out of all of our sprinters we had three make it to the final round; Nick Barrus who would finish first in his age group and Fatima and Monica who both finished 3rd in their age groups.
We saw a lot of effort and success from our little athletes. They believed in themselves and earned respect on the field. Special thanks to Bryan Booke and Jim Carmody for their leadership and support as well as all the teachers and assistants who came along to help and cheer. Our last meet is against Tapestry next week Wednesday 23rd here at SMSD at 3:30. Hope to see you there!
Wednesday May 2nd Track Meet:
On Wednesday May 2nd, the Baby Bisons hosted their first track meet of the 2012 season. The skies were dark and gloomy but the fire in our hearts was burning bright! While we were all excited to take the field, many of the kids were also a little nervous about the competition. However, after a few practice runs, our little Bisons really pulled it together and impressed the crowd to bellowing cheers! All of the little athletes gave 110% throughout each event, most of which broke their own personal records we had previously recorded during our practices. While no official score was kept or winners announced, the Baby Bisons were no doubt #1 in our hearts.
