Spring track

Ethan is now a committed runner, having joined the cross-country team in the fall and now the track team this spring. As with the fall, the participation level is amazing-- huge numbers of kids turn out for the team, which helps in many ways. Mr O'Brien, the coach for both spring and fall, has been excellent. Here is a shot of Ethan taking a jog to warm up before the last meet of the season:

Ethan did the 800 meter event for most of the spring, but on this particular day they had him running the mile. Here is the start. They run girls and boys together for this one, apparently.

Another shot from the race. Vintage Ethan race tactics-- glom onto the fellow in the lead, dog his heels until he gets tired, then zoom ahead at the end. I think this photo is with one lap to go.

Ethan made his break with about 150 meters to go, and was able to sprint past the guy above to win. Well done Ethan!
