Knoxville, TN

We had a track meet in Knoxville, TN this weekend. My cousin is also on the Tennessee football team and they had their spring game this weekend as well. The team got into Tennessee on Thursday and I got to visit with my cousin for a little bit at the track after warm ups. My grandparents, aunt, uncle and my cousin’s grandparents saw me run the 100m on Friday. The meet was also streaming live online, but I forgot about the time change so my mom didn’t get to watch it. One of my aunts though did get to see it said she saw my grandma and my aunt in the background. I was able to spend the rest of the day with them and we went around the campus and into a couple of the athletic facilities. One of my aunt’s big sisters from her sorority lives in Tennessee so we met them for dinner. I had a blast and they were a lot of fun. It was a buffet and it had some great shrimp. I competed in long jump on Saturday and I had some great jumps but I barely missed the minimum measure mark, which was still a PR. It was unfortunate that they didn’t measure it, but I’m excited to take that momentum into the LSU meet this weekend. The spring game was that afternoon and I was able to watch most of it. My cousin is a quarterback and he got in for a series and we got to hear his name over the loudspeaker, which was cool. It was a good weekend and I am thankful I was able to be around family for a little while. Knoxville is a neat place. Our flight back from Knoxville was scheduled to leave at 6:45am but it was delayed until 1:00pm so we flew all the way to Minneapolis, Minnesota from Knoxville then flew from Minnesota to New Orleans. It was an interesting path back to Nola, but I got my boots shined during the lay over.
