Road to the 2020 Olympics July 15, 2007

Summer is upon us, and tis the season of non-stop summer camps. Stacey and I have searched high and low for a local track club for Mallory, but with no luck. This past week Mallory got her first taste of track & field at Soka, which holds a one week childrens track camp every summer. She immediately loved it! The camp included kids ages 7 to 15 and taught the essentials of most events, including sprints, 400 meter, hurdles, long jump, shot, and javelin. It was no surprise that Mallory loved the hurdles the most given how much she relates to horse jumping. On the final day of the camp, the kids held a “track meet” – complete with starter gun and times – and Mallory cleaned up. We think we have a future Olympian in our midst. She’s excited to join a track club next year….if we can only find one.

Hopefully she takes after her uncle in the 400 and not her father.

Dear 400 Champ-has-been,

Her father can currently run a sub-55 second 400 meter, much unlike her rapidly aging uncle Aaron. Would the 400 Champ enjoy a lap around the track, Mallory’s father would kindly oblige to said race…perhaps to initiate St. X’s new track this August 24.
