Track Meet - 3 Events

Taylor ran in three events at today's track meet. Her first event of the day, around 9 AM, was the 3000m run. She improved her time from the last meet by 18 seconds. Woo Hoo!!!
Taylor tried the hurdles for the first time today. She had to jump over 8 hurdles over a length of 80m. Before today, she had only ever jumped two hurdles in a row. She run this event about 30 minutes after running the 3000m run. I was expecting a time around 20 seconds. She started great, ran out of steam towards the end, and still got a good time of 19:06.
Taylor also ran the 1500m run later in the day. She did not do so well in this event today, because it was hot and she was tired from sitting around all day waiting to run.
Taylor ended up with a 2nd place medal in the 3000m run, a 3rd place medal in the hurdles and a 5th place finish in the 1500m run. Great job overall!!!
