Middle School Cross Country Race

On Saturday, October 13th, Abby participated in the WCPS Middle School Cross Country race held at Springfield Middle School. They have far fewer students that participate in this race compared to the number who compete in the Elementary School version. We were shocked to see that there were only 10 7th-grade girls competing!! I guess she would make her goal of finishing in the top 10!

Four of the girls competing were former Paramount students. Here is Abby, Sydney, Rylie, and Avery representing their former Alma Mater well!


Here they go...

Abby looked strong at the start...
 But by this point I could tell she was bothered by some side cramps which seems to plague her running these days.


But she persevered to finish in 4th place overall!

She got a ribbon for her efforts, and was maybe slightly disappointed that she didn't finish in the top 3 because she would have gotten a medal! 

These friends all did so well, finishing in 3rd-6th place right in a row!
