Simplot Games!

Simplot Games 2012
Summer Harper, Jac, and Candace Greenwood

 Pocatello Idaho; home to the Simplot Games...Known for the fastest track in the northern states. This wooden track is only 200 meters (meaning 16 times around for the 2 mile!) with banked sides.
Jac was so excited to see what time she could get until...

She got SICK! 
Yes, very sick in fact; but if you know Jac and her positive attitude, she pushed through.
It wasn't her best time; not by a long shot BUT she still qualified for the finals on Thursday and then finished in 8th place on Saturday.
Races like this are great learning experiences :)
Jac realized that she was still faster sick than her best time last year! Pretty impressive I must say! We are so  proud of her!!!!! (is that enough exclamation points?)

It's never fun to be down but it definitely helps you appreciate the up times :)
