This morning I got up bright and early in order to drive the cross country car pool down to Normal, IL, for the state cross country meet. What a riot! Yes, it's a little crazy to drive two-and-a-half hours in order to watch your child run for about 13 minutes, mostly thru a wooded area. But this is State, and it's a huge honor just to be here. These are my favorite pics from the day:
The runners had chips on their shoes so their times would be totally accurate. Here's Erin showing off her chip:
Julian had 2 runners in the top 25, and the team placed 18th overall. Erin came in at 180. What impressed me more than their times and places, was their sense of comraderie. These kids really came together as a team, and have formed lasting friendships this season.
Congrats, J-Hawks, on a great season!
