IMG Flight Night

Tonight was the last regular meet of the season and it was at home. It was IMG Academy's Flight Night for the jumps team. 

Wesley did great at high jump. He another new PR of 1.93m! This is two meets in a row that he has hit over 1.9m. So wonderful! 

 Then right after high jump he went over to long jump. He had six jumps total, ranging from 6.05 to 6.28m. That is slightly under his PR of 6.31m. 

We are so proud of him and all that he has worked to accomplish in this track season!

IMG Track Meet - Senior Night

Friday night was Senior Night at IMG Academy. The field was lined up with all of the banners for the track and field seniors - 51 in all! 

Wesley was feeling a little under the weather with a sore throat and some congestion. 

He hit 1.78m on the high jump. 

For the long jump, he hit 6.19m. He actually hit 6.28 twice after that but his toes were over the line. 

His final event was the 200m Dash. He was in lane 1 for heat 1 and finished first in his heat! 

We're so glad that Grandmommy could come and hang out with us and watch him compete. 

After everything was over, seniors and families lined up on the field for recognition. Wesley got in some fun pictures with friends while we were waiting. 

Family selfie time! 

This was the picture on the scoreboard as we walked the 50 yard line on the field. 

IMG Spring Break Invitational

Saturday we spent at IMG for their Spring Break Invitational. Parker was home so he came with us plus Vicki and Ellen from Grace UMC Venice.

Wesley did both high jump and long jump. 

He finished 2nd at high jump with a height of 1.87meters. 

And he set a new PR for long jump at 6.31meters. This helped him finish 5th overall. 

Here he is with his medal from high jump! 

 

Another Weekend, Another Track Meet

Saturday Wesley competed at the Legends of Alachua County Meet in Gainesville. He jumped the long jump for the first time in a meet. His first jump was his best at 6.18m - this put him in the top 9 and qualified him for the finals. 

He jumped in the finals and finished up 6/9 for the day. So impressed with his first efforts in this event!

And Lydia came up to surprise him. We all went out to lunch afterwards to celebrate.
