SMAA Championship Meet aka My Heart Might Explode

 On Friday Miss B and I raced home to take care of Barks and load him up so we could make it to the town next door for the SMAA Championship meet. We walked about a mile and missed Minnie's first throw but made the others... HOORAY!

JJ said this gives Wonder Woman vibes...yep... I see it... scared of her!

This was the moment she was "unofficially" the WINNER throwing over 100 feet... AS.A.FRESH.MAN. 

We headed back a half mile to hang for a bit, watch some long jumpers ;) (C-Line and Corrine) 


Such sweet girls!

and speaking of sweet girls... HTED texted me and said hers were at the meet hanging out so when I saw them I had to snag a selfie! :)

We watched her throw disc and then SIL L and the GrandCountryrents headed out.... Husband had put together a 4x100m team for this meet and Minnie was running her favorite corner. They were seeded LAST with a time of about a minute but as you can see here... Minnie said "that ain't happenin'" :) and they beat both teams in their heat and came out with 55 SECONDS! 

She had a GREAT throw in disc that got her into the finals....



and she ended up finishing 8th with that throw... SO FUN!

How we got from here with a little girl who was pretending to be one of Daddy's big track girls...


To accepting the FIRST PLACE MEDAL ON THE PODIUM AS A FRESHMAN for her DADDY'S track team!


Blows my mind... and makes my heart want to explode...

So grateful for the above pictures being sent to me by Jen Blair...

and Minnie sending these....



and as IF the night could get any better....Husband won GIRLS COACH OF THE YEAR... To say this has been a LONG TIME COMING is an understatement!!! I am sooo sooo proud of this guy! He has worked SO hard for SO LONG and FINALLY they recognized it!! 
 

This girl has known her entire life (and so have I for that matter ;) 

but just SOOOO proud of my crew and their accomplishments on Friday night. 
Love them to pieces!!!
