State 2012

 The State Competition was held near Boise.  This school had burned down and was rebuilt with College quality facilities.  It was the perfect place for a State Competition.  So the kids that qualified all walked around the track waving like the Olympics.  In the top picture you can barely see Anna's face through the two kids with the white sweatshirts.  The bottom one shows Kate right behind the boy with the white sweatshirt.

 So after the March or walk  in front of the crowd, the games began.  
 Kaylee was sweet and came to support Katelyn.
 We had a conflict, so we barely missed her discus, but watched the others compete. 
 We did get to see her shotput.



 She actually scored better than she was ranked.  
Anna ran a great race as well.
 
 
 

 
 Anna ended up where she was ranked, which means that she ran hard again and we were proud of her. 
 I have to tell you that it was incredible to watch the athletes at State.  Every race was so fun to watch.  Every person there was an amazing athlete.  I'm glad we got to go and witness this.  I can imagine how watching the Olympics would be live, even more amazing.

The best part is earning a state sweatshirt that the girls wore proudly.
