On Thursday, Stephen participated in a six school track and field event in Shellman, Georgia. The first race of the day was the 1600 meter (1 mile) run. Stephen jumped into the lead early and held the lead for three and a half laps. He seemed to run out of gas with a half lap to go and two runners passed him. He was able to pass one of them back and ended up in second place. The boy who beat him also runs for Brookwood and is in the 8th Grade. The winner ran the 1600 meters in 5:44 and Stephen ran it in 5:45. A very solid run for both runners.
Stephen then finished 2nd in the 400 meter (1/4 mile) with a time of 1:16. In his final race he won the 800 meter (1/2 mile) with a time of 2:36.
All in all, a good day for his first ever track and field event.
