Qualified!

Krissia had another big track meet over the weekend, and it was her last chance to qualify for the BYU Invitational held the first part of May. She has been so close in the 800 meter, only needing to shave off a couple of seconds.

I'm happy to report she did just that on Saturday! Here she is, leading a pack of girls towards the finish line:

Krissia also ran in the 4x400 meter relay, where she was the third leg. She ran it very well, taking the team from a distant fifth place to nearly third when she handed off the baton. Here she is, preparing to pass the 4th place runner on the last stretch:

It's been so fun to watch our daughter move out of her comfort zone of swimming and try something new. Krissia has worked very hard, and we're so proud of the progress she's made :)

Krissia - Congrats and Good luck at BYU! That can sometimes be a more competitive meet than state.
