Dakota took State!!!!

A lot has been going on lately but I have not been posting. I decided I better get back on the computer. We have been following Dakota around to track meets. She started at her school's Hershey Track and Field meet where she took 2nd in the 50 and 1st in the 100. This qualified her for the district meet, which she also took a 1st and a 2nd place, which qualified her for the County meet which she also took a 1st and a 2nd place, which finally ended us at State. We traveled down to Richfield, apparently this is the center of the state. Dakota had qualified for the 50 meter dash and the 100 meter dash. She had a tremendous cheering squad, Codey, oaklee and I were there, Her dad and Jill, Jeremey and Brianne and the girls, Her Grandma Miny and Grandpa Gary, Heather and Landon and Grandma and Great Grandma and Grandpa King. Dakota ran her heart out. She even looked the part, Jeremey and Bri brought her a tank with her name on the back and she wore running bikers. It's so funny because the girl has never liked running. I asked after she won the 2nd meet if she was having fun......she said"ya know mom I really hate to run but I hate to lose even more" I guess that says it all:). At the state meet she ended up taking 1st in the 50m and 2nd in the 100m. We are now waiting to hear from the State because with her time she may qualify for the National Track meet in Hersey, Pennsylvania.
