This is Mason handing off the baton fo rthe 4x400 relay--each person ran 1 time around the track. His team dominated and beat all the others by almost 1/2 a lap.
The second picture is Mason running the 200 meter race. He usually took 2nd in this race.
Never thought Mason would turn out to be a runner--I remember baseball when he was little, he would run so hard and just looked like he wasn't going anywhere. Amazing what stretching the legs can do for someone.

Mason's record beating jump

This is Mason beating the Baker Middle School record for the high jump. The record was set in 1977 at 5'7". Mason beat it at his last track meet jumping 5'7 1/4". He tried 5'8" but couldn't quite make it. This was a very exciting day for him and the school. No one ever came close to Mason during competition--he took first in all his meets. The 2nd place usually jumped 4'10" maybe 5' if they were lucky.
