Special Olympics Track Meet

Today Maddy had her first Special Olympics tournament. She was signed up to run the 100 meter dash and her field event was the soft ball throw.

We arrived at the meet bright an early and Maddy was ready to rumble!

Her first event was the 100 meter dash. She took off like a shot, cruised a little in the middle and ended up with a photo finish with another girl. Maddy ran it in 17.3 seconds and first place as 17.1 seconds. Here she is proud of that second place medal.

After the parade and ceremonies we had the afternoon events and she was up for the softball throw. It did not hurt that her helper was a cutie pie!

She managed to not be too distracted by the cutie pie helper and placed second in her grouping of the softball throw.

Maddy had a great time and she can't wait for her next meet!
