Sherman 5K

Yesterday, we had another race in Sherman. Most of the Spartans were there and running.
It was a SEA of GREEN!!
Some of the girls before the race.
A few of the boys.
The junior varsity team.
Starting to run -- everywhere we looked, we saw lots of green shirts.
Way to go, Zack! He came in third overall with a very fast time.
Danielle was the first female with a blistering pace of 20:02 and Julie was right on her heels with a time of 20:07. I know that was Julie's fastest time and I think it was Danielle's also. They had a goal of under 20 minutes and they almost got it. Way to go, girls!!!
Alec had a good time also; I am not sure of his exact time yet, but it was somewhere in the 27 minute mark.
Kirsten set her 2nd fastest ever time -- 28:54!! We are proud of her determination.
What a big group of runners! Coach Heather had really inspired a hodge podge group of kids into a REAL TEAM! They all really inspire each other to do better every time they run.
My sister said of our kids, "It is such a shame that our kids don't have any socialization!" That is one of most people's complaints about homeschooled kids. Our children have no trouble socializing or using communication skills. As a matter of fact, we have trouble getting the girls to stop talking.
