Seventh grade track season has come and gone. Fuller has continued to try different events and figure out which best suit him. This year he tried discus, shot put, running on a 4X400 relay team, and running the 1500.
He decided discus wasn't his thing. His best distance was 46'8". Although he admits he never really practiced that event, so he could have improved that with some effort. His best shot put distance for the season was 25'11".
His main event that he's done well at the last two seasons was the 1500. He's definitely more of a distance runner than a sprinter. He's got long legs and good stamina.
He showed great improvement during the season. At the first meet he ran it in 6:10, and by later in the season he ran a personal best of 5:32. He was disappointed with his 7th place finish at districts(since 1-6 got ribbons) but we were proud of him. He's decided to try cross country in the fall, so I'm sure his times next year will improve even more.
