This past Friday was the annual Area Hershey Track Meet held here in Rexburg. Each year Hershey sponsors track meets all over the nation for kids 9 and older. For the Area meet, everyone from all the surrounding areas have the chance to come over and participate. The top 3 qualifiers then have the chance to participate in the State meet on June 20th, and then the top qualifiers from that meet have the opportunity in August to participate in the National Finals back in Hershey Pennsylvania. Well, Lexie ran in the 50 meter and the 100 meter dash, and did the softball toss and placed in the top 3 in all 3 events!!
In the 50, she came in first in her heat and second overall. (I can't get the video to upload or you could watch the race)!
Next she ran the 100. Again she came in first in her heat, but this time she placed third overall. I was so worried about starting the camera at the whistle that I hit the wrong button and only got still shots.
ON YOUR MARK! GET SET!... 
GO! 
She had so much fun and is so excited for the State Meet in June!
We are so proud of her!
Chloe is so impressed, she has decided that maybe she would like to do track and be just like her big sister.
