2021 Indianola Track Meet

This is obviously during the warm-up period yet.  Caleb is the dude in about the dead center of the picture.  He appears to be leading his relay team to some undestined point.  Why do I say that? Because he has told me in no uncertain terms since then that he had NO IDEA what he was doing for a lot of the start of the meet.

That's Caleb on the footy-thingy-ma-bobber where you start your race.  Apparently, two of the more experienced teammates were helping him with his technique.

His 2nd hurdle of the evening.  Probably needs to get that front leg aimed straighter out to make this a long term thing, but he did pretty dang good for 7th grade and the first meet.

His 5th hurdle...

He absolutely loves this picture of his teams first relay.  I put a "tongue of fire" over Caleb while you can note that his next closest foe was right at the left-most upright of the football goal post.  Also note the flags at the top of both goal posts as the wind was ABSOLOOTLEY  STOOPID!!!  Some of the boys would "meet their match" about straight out in front of us due to the force of the wind, which was probably sustained at +30mph, and gusts up to 50+.

I like this picture because much like his football team in the Fall, Caleb wasn't jacking around on the sidelines.  He was very actively in support of his teammates.   That's him in the shadows running out to support a teammate who was in a hot competition.  This went on nearly all night.
