Brit carrying Morgan for a minute through a part of Thanksgiving Point. As you can see Morgan has a boot on her leg. She has stress fractures in both legs and was told to switch the boot to whatever leg is hurting the most. The doctor said back in April she had chin splints but with six weeks left in the season the doctor thought if we stretched, massaged and iced everyday we could make it through state. We made it but after taking two weeks off after state the legs were still hurting so we went back to the doctor and did xrays to find out they were stress fractures. Morgan is anxiously waiting for them to heal so she can start the cross country season. Morgan had a good track season even with the chin splints. She earned the top sprinter trophy, the top performer trophy and the most points scored trophy. For those of you that don't know Morgan went to state in track in four events which is the most you can do. Her times going in were great. On the morning of state the mile was first at 8am. We showed up and she started the mile. The first lap she looked great, the second lap she dropped back some and she was coughing with her hand to her mouth. Going into the third lap she was throwing up - several times. She had to pull out and not run the rest of her races since she had the flu. She was heart broken, but I guess that is life. For a girl that just wants to run she has her share of challenges.
The boys cousins flexing their stuff.
