Ellie did track this year and she was really good. Most kids who do track are in a special PE class called athletics. They practice and learn all of their track techniques during that class. Ellie did not attend that class because she was in cheer class instead. So, when it was time to try out and attend track, she was at a disadvantage in a way because she didn't have that practice time. It sure didn't slow her down! She did so well at long jump and pole vaulting that they let her come and compete at meets. She won first place in long jump at one of her meets with 15' 5" jump. That was her personal best! It was amazing to see her try new things and succeed so well. She had to miss a meet because of cheer tryouts, but she was going to be able to go to the district finals....then Covid-19 cancelled everything.
