As Jayd went into Jr. High this year she decided that she wanted to try new sports and see what she likes. Last summer she did a week each of Volleyball and Basketball training camp and then tried out for the volleyball team. She made the 1st cut but not the team...but good job for trying. She hopes to do both these camps again this summer and try out for both teams.
This spring Jayd decided to try track with her good friend Bailey. Each day after school she practiced with the team and really showed good dedication and hard work. We finally got her some good running shoes and that definitely made a difference for her. Jayd competed in the mile, the medley (her part was the 400 or 200 meter) and this last meet was asked to fill in on the 4x100 relay also because one of her team mates was injured. On the mile Jayd came in at 6 minutes 54 seconds and earned 2nd place for her school. Because of this she will be competing this week at the North End District competition. Her medley team also placed for this competition so we wish her luck on both these runs. Great job Jayd!!

Go Jayd! I played school volleyball for several years so if she wants any tips we can get together and practice.
That’s awesome! I’ve been thinking about why she’s so good at running which is so unlike the Vassel genes then I figured it’s because of a survival instinct to get away from her parents and Justin. :)-
