| District Long Jump Event |
Both Derrick and Ryan did track this year. Ryan did the high jump and ran the 800 meter race. Ryan was able to letter as a freshman again since he placed 5th in District in the high jump with a jump of 5'2". WAY TO GO RYAN!! As far as the 800 race, he just stuck it out till the bitter end - he's grown so much this past year he just doesn't have enough fat, muscle or whatever it takes to endure this wicked race. He said his main goal was to not let Derrick lap him -which he accomplished. Derrick participated in several relays, the 800 meter race, and the long jump. Half way through the season Derrick sprained his ankle quite badly playing basketball with the "forest service" group and couldn't practice for over 3 weeks but he still was able to go to State in his 800 race and the long jump. This picture is of all the kids that went with him. State Track is a way fun event to go to. In years past it has always been held at Boise State University but this year because they are redoing the football field, it was held at Eagle High School. Derrick scratched on his long jump so did not place in this event. He took seventh in the 800 with a personal best record of 2 minutes 1 second - sprained ankle and all. We were proud of him.
