VRMS XC Meet

Today was the first meet of the Middle School Cross Country season.  Allison hasn't really been able to train because of her back, but she still wanted to participate in the race.  The first meet was at VRMS so no bus ride for this one!
Lorien, Turbo, Allison and Reagan representing VRMS
 Hawks girls reunited!
 The first group up was the 6th grade girls.  128 girls from several schools in the valley raced in this group.
 The starting line
 Allison ran her heart out and battled hard in a tough pack of racers.
 Crossing the finish line
 Allison finished 43rd out of 129 with a time of 14:28 for 1.86 miles!  She really enjoyed it and hopes to better her time at the next race next week in Hemet.
Congrats to Turbo and Reanna for medaling and to Zoey for finishing just a second behind Allison!  So proud of all of these athletes!!
Matt and I stuck around to watch the 6th grade boys and 7th grade boys and girls.  Our school has some very talented runners and the 7th grade boys were unbelievable...the top two boys finished at 10:30!
