Track

I have officially begun my career as a track official. I went through training over the winter and I am now working area high school meets. I enjoy it, and get paid, so it is fun.
Today was my third meet. The other two were good learning experiences, as I was paired with another official. Today the Starter said "you got the high jump." I have never worked the high jump, and I have never had more than a passing glance of a high jump competition. I do not think it took long for the girls to realize I was a newbie. After some warm ups, I got the girls ready and glanced down at the roster of jumpers. My last two were named Mildred and Bertha. Ah...the joys of working with high school kids. I got a good laugh out of it.
