Track and Tennis

This Spring both kids added a new sport they had never tried before! Samantha signed up for the St. Jude School Elementary Track Team (grades 3-5), and Trey joined the St. Jude Middle School Tennis Team (grades 5-8). We have spent a lot of afternoons on the tennis courts and track field, and both kids are sad to see their respective seasons  come to an end. I have a feeling some of our summer activities will involve tennis and running.


Track
Samantha tried many different "events" including the relay (passing the baton), the 50 and 100 yard dash, and the 200 (1 lap), 400 (2 laps) and 600 (3 laps) [update: non-regulation field]. During the season, she improved her best time, and she LOVES to run (just like her Aunt K). Coach Sarah (below in the black shirt and blond pony-tail) has been wonderful working with our students to help them learn different events.

Tennis
Granddad P has been an incredible tennis instructor for Trey, coming to town from Douglasville in order to practice with Trey for literally hours and leaving behind detailed tips and techniques to help him improve his game. Coach Tanner has also been very patient and helpful working with our very large team this year.
