Busy Weekend

This was a pretty busy weekend for Dan and I. On Saturday Nate had a track meet, Dan had a high school track meet and we had the cash raffle. We split up during the day -Dan going with the hs to Hillsdale College and I traveled to EMU to watch Nate throw.

What a looooong day. The schedule said the shot put should go off around 3:30. Nate finally started throwing at 7:00. There were 38 guys competing. Nate was ranked 15th going in. When all was said and done, Nate ended up 10th with a throw of 49'10". There were lots of athletes there that I knew - either from Hillsdale High School or from high school competitions.


I was able to see Josh Perrin run the 6000 - he took 2nd. I also saw Erin Dillon run the 4x200. She is still recovering from an injury so her times are not the best.
Dan and I were so close this year at the raffle. Our two tickets were pulled quite early. We went in with two other couples and bought another ticket. That ticket was one of the last 10 standing. At that point all people remaining have an opportunity to pool their tickets and split the money. There was one person there who did not want to pool - and the next ticket (a no money ticket-our ticket) was pulled. Maybe next year.

PS - Another Monday - another day off of school :(
