Samantha's Field Day

Samantha's school field day took place on May 25th at the Holly Middle School. While I missed a couple of her events while coming home from my half day at work, I was able to make it for most of them. Among the events that Sam participated in, she earned a ribbon in each one. She ran the 400 meter race, earning 6th place. She skipped the 4x100 relay race, but participated in every other event on the day. She got a 7th in the jump rope competition, a 1st place in the softball toss(!), a 1st in the water relay, a 2nd in the soccer relay and the tug-of-war, 8th in the Frisbee toss, 2nd in the sack race, 7th in the limbo competition, and 2nd in the standing long jump. She had a great time this year participating in all of the events, but her first place finish in the softball toss was definitely her highlight of the day. Great job, Samantha!

I have to say thank you to my Mom for attending with me and taking pictures of all of the events that I missed. I appreciate the help!

	...in which her team managed to win handily.
	Sammie didn't get off to the best start in the soccer dribble relay race...
	...but her team still had a chance to win, up until they were passed over by the last player on the other team. Second place.
	Sam's tug-of-war team didn't do as well as expected, settling instead for another second place ribbon.
