Taylor, Bailey, Natalie and I headed to Upper Marlboro, MD this past weekend for the regional track meet that the girls qualified for back in the beginning of June. It was a four day meet, but we only had to be there the last two days. On day one, Taylor completed in the high jump, the semi-finals of the 100m hurdles, the long jump and the 200m hurdles. Her first three events overlapped within an hour and a half time period. She started with the high jump, checked out to run the 100m hurdles, checked back in to clear another height, checked out to take her long jumps and then checked back in to give three attempts at 5'0".
On approach, Taylor has to get her left knee up as high as she can.
She easily cleared the first five heights.
Starting at 3'6" and ending at 4'2"
Her final height, took two attempts, was 4'4"
After long jumping, Taylor came back to the high jump and gave three attempts at 5'0", a height of 8 inches higher then she had ever cleared before. She didn't make it, but her coach was impressed that she wasn't scared to give it a try.
Taylor came in 4th in her 100m hurdle heat.
She came in 7th overall to advance to the finals on Sunday.
Look at that form.
I only got one set of pictures of Taylor long jumping.
Taylor tied for 6th in the long jump.
