I found out from some friends in Bethel that the Varsity Track Coach ran a summer track night for kids age 3-10 every week in the month of July. We missed two, having been on vacation, but I was excited to bring the girls and see what they might make of it.
They gathered around and listened to the instructions, and before I knew it, they were "warming up" for a 50 meter hurdle race. Cora refused to practice, but after watching for a while, she was right in line for the 50 yard dash. After two years of telling Cora to "Slow Down" it was a riot seeing her reaction as all the parents we knew shouted, "Run Cora!" She was the youngest participant and ran like the wind. I think we found her sport. Keels and Cora both got a participation ribbon that they hung with pride in their room and bragged about for weeks.
