When life puts up hurdles, jump! This photo was taken at a the Phoenix Invitational Track and Field Meet at Elon University last Saturday. Many high school students throughout the Piedmont Region-- including several students from Guilford County-- participated in the meet. The warm, breezy, spring weather was perfect for spending the day outside running, jumping, throwing, and shot putting. The Elon staff and students involved with this event went out of their way to make sure it ran smoothly. Elon University is about 15 miles east of Greensboro; however, its connections to Greensboro are many. Elon has a law school in downtown Greensboro and many people who work at Elon live in Greensboro.
On another note, in these financially difficult times, please remember that school sports programs contribute significantly to the wellness of our children. Also, practice and meets give teenagers something to do and people to socialize with in a positive, healthy environment. Let's help keep these programs intact. Like the young man at the hurdle, we are ready to JUMP into the weekend and hope you are too. Happy Skywatch Friday.
Good sports photo, it almost looks like he is too far away from the hurdle here.

Your sky looks warmer than ours are today (weather people are talking snow for Sunday)! Love your horse shots on Jessup Grove. Agriculture and housing are side-by-side here also. There were a few others who also waited for the moon to rise. From that vantage point the very top edge was visible. It took 3-4 minutes for the moon completely rose above the horizon.
