Yesterday was Alex's first Cross Country Meet. Selfishly, I would like to see him love this sport! All the guys I knew in school that ran cross country were very kind, smart, and dedicated students. Qualities I'd like to see in my son too! Above shows that the guys were just below the setting sun. Hard to take a good picture.
All the middle schools competed at once.
That is a lot of boys!
The weather was awesome! A great day for a run.
Alex is running on the sidewalk to the left of the picture. He finished in the top 75 (but other boys who didn't cheated and took his 'ticket'!) Anyone after that, basically ran for fun. Next time he needs to be 10 seconds faster! And hopefully everyone else will be 10 seconds slower!
Track man.
You would have to zoom in, but this IS cross country and he did walk away covered in mud on his backside.
7th and 8th grade team. Alex didn't come home too excited. 3 more meets for him to give it a try.
