Tommy's first Cross Country Meet 9/4/08

Tommy surprised us this year by deciding to join Cross Country. He ran in his first meet tonight at Indian Trails golf course in Beemer. Here he is before the race, smiling and stretching with his team mates.
The course was 3.1 miles. They ran around the perimeter of the course and up this hill. Do you see that little strip of grey down at the bottom? That was the road that they came up from. I heard the cross country runners call it "Killer Hill".


I was so proud of Tommy as he crossed that finish line. He ran the race in 25.42 minutes, his fastest time yet! I had never been to a cross country meet and I have to tell you those kids should be admired. Way to go Tommy!!!!
