Saturday morning, Mitch took Alec to Corinth to run in the Corinth Rotary 5K.
Alec really enjoys this course and was excited to run this race.
Alec and Eryn S. running into the finish line. They were neck and neck...
...right until the end, when Eryn edged Alec out. Alec had to stop twice to tie his shoes and he also lost his racing chip but they were able to figure out where he finished and what his time was. He finished 2nd in his age group of 10-12 year old boys with a time of 26:49.
Alec is so happy with his 2nd place trophy. This race gives out tennis shoes as awards along with the medal, because it is sponsored by Austin Shoes.
Kirsten and I drove to Union University in Jackson, TN, on the same Saturday morning to compete in a XC meet. This is a picture of most of the Spartan girls.
The Varsity girls ran a very good race and finished 3rd out of 11 teams with a total score of 79. There were a total of 76 runners competing in this race.
The Varsity boys finished 10th out of 11 teams, but most of our boys set a PR (personal record) for this distance. We were hoping for a better finish, but once we saw their times, we were very excited. Eighty-one runners competed in this race. Their score was 276 and we see big things in the future for this team.
Some of the Junior Varsity runners get loosened up for their race and some last minute instructions from Mr. Don.
The JV boys and girls ran in one race and there were 118 runners total in this race. Our boys finished 5th and our girls finished 4th, but several runners also set a PR for this race and we are proud of their effort. This course was a difficult course with two long uphills to conquer in addition to them running a full 5K instead of the 2.1 miles they normally run.
Kirsten is rounding the last corner for the finish. We are proud of her effort in each race and hope for fast times in her future. Once she conquers the uphills better, her times will improve.
