On Wednesday, October 21st, Michael and Stephanie participated in State Cross Country. Michael was really excited about being able to go as a Freshman. Stephanie was asked last minute to fill in, so the girl's team would have enough. (She's a soccer player)
The girls ran first and Stephie finished 5th out of 7 for the team, so her finish time counted for the place of the team. She finished in 27 minutes and some seconds.
Michael started shortly after Stephanie finished, so while dad was watching Stephie finish, mom was watching Michael start. He was running well and was in the middle of the crowd, but the course proved to be a hard course that weaved around the park and through the park (my brothers will know what I'm talking about). He was uncertain of where the finish line was and so ran his kick a little bit early and he didn't finish as strong as he wanted to.
Although he finished 7 out of 7 for his team and 2nd to last overall, we are focusing on the positives. He got to attend state as a freshman. He ran his 3rd best time for the courses he ran over the season. He had an improvement of 5 minutes between the first time he ran in Richfield and when he ran there for Region. I think he did very well on an unfamiliar course and he finished in 21:20. He's looking forward to participating again next year.
