Ashley, again, participated in the Wyoming State Track Meet this year. It was held May 21,22, and 23 in Casper, Wyoming. Fortunate for us, she did all her running on the first day and we added the next days to our trip to New Mexico. Did not place as she did last year, but did run the 3200 meter (2 Mile) in 14:04.96. A good run considering the battle she has had in shin splints this year. Her only other race was a 4X8 Girl's Relay. It is a race where each of four girls runs 800 meters and hands the baton off to the next girl to run 800 meters. Her team was holding a solid 4th place, which Ashley, as third runner, helped extend their lead by 100 meters. Unfortunately, their fourth runner lost all of the gained lead and threw her arms out at 2 meters before the finish line, impeding an oncoming runner, and getting her team disqualified. It was a major bummer for Ashley and the other girls on the team. She still enjoys her running, and I guess that is the most important thing!!
