Still alive

Yes, we are all still alive and well. It has been a long time since the last update, so there is a lot to get caught up on, but I will be brief. Since the last update, Cameron has competed in the USATF Oklahoma Association Championship in Oklahoma City, the AAU Area 11 National Qualifier in Joplin, Missouri, and the USATF Region 9 Championship in Wichita, Kansas. He also ran two more of the Thursday night Tulsa Runner Summer Track Series meets.

At the USATF Oklahoma Association Championship, Cameron ran the 400 in 1:27.61, and the 800 in 3:18.00. He placed 6th out of 14 in the Sub-Bantam age group in the 400, and 2nd out of 4 in the 800. At the AAU meet, Cameron ran the 200 in 41.70 seconds, the 400 in 1:29.35, and the 800 in 3:16.62. He placed 24th out of 34 in the Primary age group in the 200, 13th out of 19 in the 400, and 9th out of 12 in the 800. At the USATF Region 9 Championship, Cameron ran the 400 in 1:25.12, and the 800 in 3:08.83. He also threw the Mini-Javelin 10.36 meters. He placed 6th out of 7 in the Sub-Bantam age group in the 400, 2nd out of 5 in the 800, and 2nd out of 3 in the Mini-Javelin. Cameron did not qualify for the AAU Junior Olympics, and he was not eligible to qualify for the USATF Junior Olympics, because Sub-Bantams can only advance as far as Regionals in the USATF series. Cameron's brother Brandon did qualify for the AAU Junior Olympics in the 1500 meters as a Sub-Bantam, finishing 4th at the National Qualifier with a time of 6:55.04.

At the Tulsa Runner Summer Track Series meets, Cameron ran a 200 in a new PR of 38.8 seconds, an 800 in 3:12, a 100 in 18.8 seconds, a 400 in a new PR of 1:23.84, and a 1600 in 7:05. He also ran a leg of a 4x100 meter relay at one of the meets.

We are heading out on vacation for the next couple weeks, culminating in a stop in Des Moines for the AAU Junior Olympics, where Brandon will be running in the 1500 on the morning of August 4th.
