Cody's Track Season

 We were proud of Cody for trying something new and going out for track this spring! He's always been such a speedster out on the soccer field and the basketball court, so we were excited to watch him compete in track. The Salem team competed in 5 track meets over the course of the season. Cody's favorite events were the shorter distances. He learned a lot about how to pace himself as a runner and made a lot of progress with slightly longer races, like the 400M. Cody had quite a few races where he'd turn on a high gear halfway through the race and pass a bunch of runners, regularly coming in first or second in his heat. He sure made the races exciting!

Here are some of his 100M races. His PR was 14.84.

Cody's record for the 200M was 31.87.

Even though it wasn't his favorite, I think the 400 turned out to be Cody's strongest event. Maybe that's just because I enjoyed watching him pass everyone!! ;) His PR for the 400M was 1:16.95.

At one track meet, Cody had to stand in for one of the upper grade track guys and compete on the middle-school relay team. He held his position well, even with much older runners beside him!

Long jump was the only field event Cody tried this year, and he only competed at 2 meets. His best jump was 11' 2". 

Way to go, track star Cody!!
