October 21, a caravan of Spartans and their families left on a road trip to the Homeschool Nationals Cross Country Meet in Springfield, Missouri. We all had fun on the way to the course. We ate at Cici's Pizza for lunch and then drove straight to the course, so the kids could run it before the race the next day. Then we all went to the Springfield Mall to eat at the food court before heading to the hotel to spend the night. There was a mix-up at the hotel about the runners rooms, so once we got that all figured out, Coach Heather held a team meeting and then went to bed.
The next morning we all got up early to eat and then get to the course to be ready for the big race.
Alec was not too happy to have his picture taken.
Mr. Jimmy and I usually end up with a picture like this. He takes pictures of me, while I take pictures of him.
Some of the girls visiting while trying to settle their nerves.
My sister, Lisa, my first cousin, Amanda, and me before the races began.
All of our girls, varsity and junior varsity, started at the same time. They huddled to pray for a good and safe race before the start.
Nervously waiting the start.
There they go!!
Kirsten makes her first lap of a very difficult course.
Coming into the finish. So proud of you, Kirsten!
The junior varsity boys before their race began.
On their way!
Alec only had to run one lap and he ran as fast as he could.
Almost there!! What a great race, Alec!!
All the girls got participant medals and long sleeve t-shirts.
The boys got medals and t-shirts too.
Listening to Coach!
TEAM SPARTAN!!
