Monday afternoon we had the cross country county championship at Columbia College. Being this was my first year coaching at Twain Harte, I didn't know what to expect the course to look like. I was disappointed to see how hilly it was! I was hoping the conditioning we had done had been enough. The race started with the 6th graders and after about 200 yards, they were out of sight. The course is comprised of 3 different loops. After the first loop, the runners returned to sight. After the first 10-15 runners, I knew something was wrong when one of my best runners, Jason, was no where in sight. I started back up the trail and quickly came across Jason limping back in. He had slipped and fallen on one of the hills, as he was in 2nd place. A trip to the first aide tent and some ice on his twisted ankle was all that was needed, but he was out of the race.
I was very proud of how our runners did in the meet and we had several runners who placed well. Sarah was the third place girl in the 6th grade. In 7th grade boys, Jered and Ben were 2nd and 3rd, respectively. A very good showing for TH schools!
