Key to middle school track? Just keep moving

As always, the kids had it figured out.
Keep moving, and you could withstand the 30-degree wind-chill readings at yesterday's MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS TRACK MEET.
Sit on the grassy slope to watch, as I did for much of the competition, and you were doomed to numbed extremities and chattering teeth.
ANNIKA (second from left) participated in the LONG JUMP and the 100-METER DASH.
She enjoyed herself and we enjoyed cheering her efforts -- once we had figured out that strolling the side of the track meant blood kept circulating -- bringing welcomed warmth to body parts that were beyond chilled.
