Washington County held their Middle School cross country run on Saturday, October 26th. It's kind of sad because the Elementary cross country run is hugely popular with over 100 kids running each race but the numbers go way down in middle school. I am happy that my kids still want to participate though!
Landon started the 6th grade boys race at 9:30 a.m. There were only 24 boys who participated. He started out strong, and probably a bit too fast!
But he held his own and came in 9th place overall with a time of 7:13 for the 1.1 mile course!
He was pretty pleased with his effort!
All of the 6th grade boys who participated from Western Heights including the boy next to Landon who won the race! Landon was the second fastest from his school!
Great job Landon!
We waited around for a little over an hour for the 8th grade girls race. There were only 4 runners and Abby was the only runner from her school! it was kind of sad to see such low numbers but I was proud of Abby for giving it her all!
She came in 4th place with a time of 8:20. She was pretty bummed about coming in last, but when you only have four fast girls competing, it makes it pretty challenging. I kept reminding her that she did better than everyone else that never even attempted the run that morning!
She has run with her friend Avery in every single Cross Country run since 3rd grade. It is so fun to see these girls grow up into such great young women!
