Aylen track team<\/p><\/div>\n

Daniel had his first season of Junior High track and he LOVED IT!!! \u00a0He is such a gifted runner (so is David, but we’ll get to him) and he seems to get stronger as the races get longer. \u00a0The longest junior high races are 1600 meters (1 mile). \u00a0For the first couple track meets, seventh-graders are only allowed to run Junior Varsity; after that, it’s whatever they qualify for. \u00a0Varsity and J.V. run at the same time so sometimes it’s confusing to watch. \u00a0In the first race, Daniel finished first overall. \u00a0He explained that it was because one of his teammates – a fast 9th grader – was unable to compete that day.<\/p>\n

For the second race, you need to watch the video. \u00a0With good competition from the 9th grader mentioned above, Daniel finished in under 5 minutes! \u00a0I won’t spoil the race results, but it comes down to the end. \u00a0I will say that both boys established new Personal Records in this race. \u00a0Take 5 minutes and watch.<\/p>\n
