Alpine Days

 Jack qualified for Alpine Days in High Jump because not enough other kids wanted to do it.  He didn't clear the first round, but he was a good sport to participate.

 He also threw the shot put.  He had 4 attempts, his longest around 26 feet, which we thought was pretty good, until a kid stepped up and threw 47 feet.  I think Jack finished in 16th place.



I took a half day off work to watch Alpine Days.  I had so much fun, and at the other track meets I attended.  I had a good laugh at Jack's expense when his coach informed him he needed to run the 4x100 relay.  Jack looked positively terrified.  In the end he wasn't needed to run, much to Jack's relief.
