State Track meet with Millika running the 1600 meter!

So it is State track season again and it has been a wonderful year for Millika. She has broken the 3200 meter school record and gotten great progress on the 1600 and 800 meter.

She qualified in all 3 of her events for State and today she ran the 1600 meter race. Last week she got a great PR (Personal Record) with a 5 min 18 sec on that distance. She told us she would run under 5 min 20 sec at the Region meet and then under 5 min 15 sec at State. Both Lincoln and I thought "yea right" we want to see it before we believe it.

Well let's just say we SAW it today. She raced a 5 min 12 sec for the 1600 meter race today, unbelievable and so fun to watch :o) She took 12th out of the TOP 21 girls running the 1600 meter in the 4A schools.

 Click to see it better but here are the times for all the girls!!

AND this is when she realized that she broke the school record for the 1600 meter too :o)

You just gotta love it baby!! What a race and what a wonderful girl ;o)
