My little track star











Jayden is really athletic. He's a little squirt, but excels at almost anything he tried because he's so driven.... (this will serve him well later in life). He has a friend Caleb who is running track with the NWA Track Club, of course in an effort to spend more time "playing" Jayden has decided he wants to give track a shot. I took him (figured it would keep him busy for the summer - boy was I right), and he was instantly drawn to the 100, 200, and long jump. He practiced with the team and within a couple weeks he had a meet. First time running competitively and he get's 4th in the 100, bailed out of the 200 (wouldn't run), and 1st place in the long jump. Now his coach is really pushing him to give it his all, pay attention to his form, practice outside of official practices. She talked with me the other day and said he has lots of potential in this sport if he applied himself.
