Cole had another Cross Country meet today. This one was not so crazy big. It was drizzly and freezing cold. A sharp change from the pleasant and gentle autumn we have gotten used to.

| Note that Harwood, front and center, had a very strong showing at the race. They had a lot of very fast runners. Bittersweet proof that life marches on, even after the tragic death of 5 teenagers. |
The high school coach did describe it as one of the more challenging courses. It was an even 2 mile course, rather than the normal 1.7 mile. There were a lot of steep hills, and it had rained so some of the hills were slippery and muddy.
Here is Cole coming down the homestretch, looking strong.
Cole came in 18th out of 78 runners with a time of 14.07, according to 802timing.com .
As far as we know, this is the last cross country meet for the middle school runners, but Cole and some friends are running the Kingdom Challenge 5k nest weekend in St. Johnsbury,
Woweee Cole, I am so impressed with your ranking! Bravo, and in less-than-fun weather conditions. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Cole! You look like the tallest runner in the bunch!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, and then you are also going to do the race next weekend. Wonderful, Cole!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you tower over the others in that first picture!
Hope the weather is a little more pleasant next weekend!!!
Love, Joanie
