NCAA Track and Field Championships

After attending the Quarter Horse Show and the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, it was finally time to attend the event that we actually came here for - the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The meet was held at Drake Stadium and we tried our best to cheer on the Florida State Seminoles that were competing.  FSU ended up 4th overall.  It would have been great to see the 'Noles win it all but we still had a great time.

                

Just try making it over the hurdle after you

GO NOLES!

After sitting on aluminum bleachers for 4 days my butt is happy to be back in the passenger seat of the motorhome heading west.
