I don't compete until Friday but our girls 4 by 800 from MCT runs in the emerging elite this morning and then Chris Taylor is going to pole vault tonight. Walking around at the meet was so cool because everyone here is so athletic and there are a lot of tents with cool shirts and other New Balance merchandise.

After the 4 by 8 we all went back to the hotel which is only like 5 min away from the stadium. Then coach Bentley, coach Dawson and I went and met the pole vault coach of Wake Forrest University on campus and it a tour and learned about their track program. The campus was beautiful!

Then we went back to the stadium to cheer on Chris in the emerging elite Pole Vault. We watched him warm up but then a pretty bad storm hit and we had to take cover for a couple hours under the stadium. image.jpegAfter the storm we watched Chris compete and he got 2nd!
