Congratulations to the Southeast Polk Jr. High track team! For the first time in the history of the school, both grades won state in the same year!! That's quite an accomplishment for both the coaches and the young men contributing to their sport!
Also, a HUGE thank you to Grinnell Community Senior High for hosting the event and all of the volunteers who made this possible. The meet, save for one moment of the timing equipment not working correctly, went off like a well oiled machine!! Very impressive, to say the least.
 |
| Early on... this is our team while coach is waiting for other kids to arrive so they can begin warm-ups. That's Caleb standing up with the black sweats and gray sweatshirt. |
 |
| Our boys starting warm-ups. |
 |
| Lucas is getting ready to hand off to Caleb in one of the relays. |
 |
| A fairly clean hand-off and Caleb is off. |
 |
| They had opened a pretty good lead shortly thereafter. |
 |
| One of the kids in red has closed the gap some, but still a good sized lead. |
 |
| And when the lad is done running a race, he comes over to check the schedule for when he's up next. |
And to boot, we found out later in the day that the 8th grade girls team also won state!!! Can't beat that and can't wait for next year!
