Week Two

Another fabulous week of cross-country transpired including our first race a scrimmage at Montgomery between the MRC schools.  No score was kept but our squads looked amazing and there  were many terrific times by individuals.  Emmett Geres and Abby Mickus led the way for the Junior High runners while Lizzy Schmidt and Drew Hastings led their respective races.

Wednesday and Friday were incredible workouts.  Watching the kids work hard was uplifting.  It is amazing to see the level of determination the team has when it is together running a tough workout.  Thursday was the annual watermelon relay.  See the pictures below.  8 watermelons were consumed in the process and I believe everyone made it through ok.  Friday was a terrific event put on by our newly formed parent booster club "Last Blast of Summer", held at Oakcrest.  There was fun and prizes galore.  Thanks for all your support parents.  On that note, please read the following.
