She had the 8th best time over all (I think there were 16 total in the 9-10 age group that ran the 100m). 
When we left, they hadn't posted her results yet. But no matter how she placed, look at that form!!!
Next Jenna did the 200m. She was pretty wiped...I don't think we fed her enough. We were trying to keep her from getting sick, not running on a full stomach. But we neglected to consider that Jenna is the child who can eat every 30 - 45 minutes when we're at home, both before and after meals. So we should have given her a little energy boost.
But as you can see, she still ran so fast the camera couldn't get her without blurring:
Or, perhaps it's just fuzzy. Nah, we're stickin' with Jenna bein' a speed demon! She took 3rd place in this race. Can't imagine how she'd have done with some food in her belly.
Em finished the meet with her showing in the 200m. Once again, no results when we left, but I'm pretty sure she got 5th place in this one. Sorry no pic. Karen tried to get her, but there was no one in the pic. Guess Em was so fast she just blazed past the camera before she could click!
Here they both are, cooling their heels at the finish line.
Once the races were finished, the kids had to stand in their lane at the finish line while the judges recorded the results and made sure they had the correct winners for each place.
One thing I didn't expect was how nerve-wracking it would be for us parents!! Our girls have never wanted to do sports, so we've never had to watch from the sidelines or wait anxiously for them to compete. This was a new experience for us; if I was a nail-biter I wouldn't have had any nails left to chew by the end. However, the bag of Baked Lays, as well as some Chex Mix, were sacrificed to my nervous eating.
