I can’t believe the RedShirt mom can’t out two and two together on this.

My July girl started school on time, so young for her grades and is now in fourth grade. We have a track club and mets through the local ymca, with school teams. One girl runner always wins and we get second, the other girl 4/2014 is a full 15 mos only than my child, 7/2015.

So that’s annoying, but the family is not. It’s just hard at this age to deal with losing to someone so much older than you.  It will probably wash out, for girls, by 10th or 11th grade but seems like an athletics advantage for a long while. [/quote]

You should ask the management to sort kids by age rather than grade. There were a few children at my children's school who were 2-3 years too old for the grade. Apparently they were "homeschooled" for several years and so far behind that they couldn't be placed with kids their age, LOL. But luckily our local leagues sort by age, not grade. There should never be more than a 1 year span in ages on these teams. [/quote]

Tmca track meets are all volunteer.

But does want to make you turn around and say the winner is 5-18 mos older than all the other 4th graders. And this is an individual sport. Track race. [/quote]
