Michael...gives track a run!

We've had a blast following Michael around the area watching him in his first ever track season. Somehow in the last couple of years he's gone from an "average Joe" to "fast Eddie". We're not sure where he gets his speed...I don't know of another Anderson who is fast. My brother and I were distance runners and so is Tim.

The first few meets of the year, Michael did long jump, high jump and 100 meter dash. But then the coach heard his 400 meter time in gym and asked him to run that event for track. He had to drop long jump because they were limited to three events per meet.

Here's the finish in the 100 meter dash at a meet in Parma, OH. Michael is in second place in lane three. His best time was in the last meet of the year where he ran it in 13.45. His best 400 time was 66.33

High jump was probably his favorite event. He did really well this Spring, usually placing in the top three in at least one or two events most meets! He topped 4' 4" at one meet in high jump.
