Riley was worried during the winter that maybe...just maybe...she had missed out by never really trying any sports other than gymnastics. Apparently she talked to the track coach at school and he said that they didn't really need any new athletes. Riley's bff, on the other hand, went to a small school and tried many sports. In fact, she tried out for the soccer team her senior year, having never played soccer, and ended up as the starting goalie. (Never mind when Riley got the call one night that they lost something like 14-0. LOL)
Anyway, we met up (outside) with said friends and C tried to teach Riley how to do discus and shotput. She wasn't really very good at either but apparently she showed some promise at discus. HOWEVER, it set Riley at ease that she hadn't missed out on anything by not doing track and field. Also, C's family got a puppy (to replace her when she leaves for college - where she will be doing track and field). Interesting aside - we went to one of her meets a few years ago and she came in 2nd place to the daughter of one of my highschool classmates. The two young ladies are the same age and are going to the same college and will be competing as teammates.
