Triple PR

 Not only did Tyson PR in the 100m dash, he also double PR'd in Pole Vault.  The last I heard, I was hoping to clear 8'.  Today, I watched him clear 8' AND 8'6"!!  He can tell you all the ways his form is bad, but I don't see it.  All I see is my boy flying in the air by way of a bendy stick and clearing a bar that is majorly off the ground!

8'6"

Tyson: "When I saw you, I knew I needed to PR."  Be still, my heart.

I didn't get a picture of the 100m dash because I was recording it.  But I did get this announcement that he was up next.

One of the neatest things that I witnessed, aside from my son triple PRing, is Tyson offering his jumping spikes to a teammate and then a COMPETITOR offering his running spikes to Tyson for the 100m dash.  I later asked Tyson if he knew the kids that loaned him shoes-- nope.  I love that kind of sportmanship.  Tyson: "That's one thing I really love about track & field and cross country-- really great friends are made as we encourage each other to do and become our best."  I couldn't agree more.

(Side note: I actually felt queasy in my stomach as I watched Porter put on Tyson's warm shoes.  Inspirational, sure, but also-- warm, used shoes...)
