Hanna is a Fast Runner!

Hanna somehow got a great mixture of fast running skills and the desire to achieve.  She worked hard at track practice twice a week, and it paid off.

First was the Cardston Junior High School track meet.

She placed first in the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, triple jump and relay. She even broke a few school records.

Next was the Westwind Divisionals track meet.

She placed first in the hurdles, 200 meters, 400 meters and relay. She placed second in the 100 meters and triple jump.

The first two places in each event get to go to the zone track meet, and it was in Medicine Hat this year.  Carly and I were brave and rode the bus with the students.  Lucy came with a friend so we could cheer on Hanna.

Zone Champion - Hanna Nunn

Hurdles

200 Meters

She ended up second in the 100 meters to Melissa Carter, her friend from CJHS.  It should have been called a tie. They were so close that it took them almost 15 minutes studying the pictures to decide which girl won.

She also ended up 2nd in the triple jump.  She was in first place until the last jump, and then another girl barely beat her.

She also ran on the 4 x 100 relay team, and her team was first place.

It was such a fun day, and CJHS did so well in all of their events,  Hanna has a really great group of kids in her grade - they are not only athletic but just really good kids.

As we were loading the bus to go home, they announced the aggregate winners.  Hanna was hoping to win, but she ended up with 24 (out of 28 possible) points and was second for girls in her age group,  But then they announced that Cardston Junior High won the aggregate for the schools.  They were zone champions and received the banner.
