Hurdles, Batons and Spikes!

Yes, it track season! And Tessa is running! This was her second track meet and it was like it was a nasty fall day. The times were slow and they were cold! Tessa improved on her hurdles form her last meet because her daddy worked with her up a the track Sunday night. But he worked a little too hard, he was clearing his third hurdle and he is knee gave way under him, buckles, he hit the asphalt with his left arm, keeping up the momentun he drove his right shoulder into the track. Tessa called in a panic that daddy had hurt himself. I got to the track he was trying to "walk" if off. He did not want to go but we got him into the car and took him kicking and screaming to the hospital for x-rays. Sure enough he has a broken collar bone and a 3rd degree AC separation. Now today his knee is really swollen and hurting him quite a bit. Never a dull moment at the Olivier house!

Anywho! Back to the track meet. I was late because I was making Levi's Birthday cake so I didn't get to see her run her hurdles. But she placed second in her heat, Steve said she kept it low and did good. I was there for the 4x100, Tessa was third leg. We won't know the results for a day or two. Long jump was challenging, they had to run straight into the wind, not fun! We are hoping for better weather next time!

The hand off.

Tessa Bookin' it!

Big Daddy Gimpy! He sacrificed his body (& pride) for his little girl!
