Wide World of Sports......sort of

Unfortunately, the game is at ACU instead of WF. We'll have played Gunter (including this time) 6 of the last 7 years. We have a 2/3 win ratio against them. Last year we didn't play against them. Hopefully we'll make it 50/50!
 
On to track season

I wonder how many schools have a lineman run anchor on the 4x400 relay? As fast as I know just 1. My kid is that 1. How many lineman can out run backs and receivers........that same kid. The twins are having a good season so far. The combined medals for 14 events are 9 gold and 3 silver.

last friday the varsity cross country team made up of 5 freshmen (2 of which are my kids), 1 senior and 1 either sophomore or junior won district. now they advance to regionals on the 22nd. if they qualify as a team it'll be the 2nd team to go to state from our local school. my oldest son as a senior and the team he was on was the 1st to go as a team. round rock was a mud pit when he ran as it rained early that day. i was jokingly saying "stop at the car wash and hose them off".............the 1st car wash we went by there was a bus load getting hosed 🤣 . iirc they take the top 3 teams and if a team doesn't qualify it's possible to go as an individual.
 
I don't have any kids playing football, but do have 1 in band. They are going to San Antonio for state marching finals in a week or 2? Possibly on November 6th ir there abouts? It's my daughter's senior year and she and the band are happy! The last 2 years she has gone to state in a group of 2 and 5.
 
Well, the 1st scheduled track meet was canceled due to single digit temps last week. So, Thursday (which is a dumb day to have a meet) will be my freshman's (twins) 1st meet of this year. Temps should be around 70° and about 85 miles from home. Hopefully chronic pain will let me go. We do have 1 home meet this year which makes it nice.

Taylor, the oldest of the twins will do these events
Shot, disc, 300 hurdles, 800m run & 1600 mile relay

Daniel, the younger by a few minutes only does 2 events
1600m run & 3200m run

Daniel isn't as confident as Taylor, but does (well so far in 7th and 8th grade) has medaled nearly every time.

Taylor has gad mainly wins, but didn't medal in disc due to scratching 3x last year.

I think he's on the varsity 1600m relay? Not sure if Daniel is on jv or varsity, but is 1 of the fastest 2 or 3 in distance on the team. Usually non-team events the coaches take the 3 fastest in running events and make them varsity. We'll see?
