First Cross Country Meet

Chris decided he wanted to join the Cross Country Team at his school this year. He started training with Chad in June and then practicing with his team beginning in July. On the 31st, he had his first track meet. It was blazing hot and the coarse was not shaded at all...not a fun day for a run, but he did great with a time of 15:30 (they run 2 miles). He placed 19th out of about 50 boys. (He had another meet yesterday with about 200 boys running...cut his time to 14:40 ..not sure where he placed, haven't gotten the results back yet, but he was in the top half!).

Here are some photos from the first meet....

Way to go Chris! We're proud of you!
